New zealand's current crime situation

New zealand used to be a paradise for a lot of people as it is pretty, peaceful and safe. However, the situation is changing due to current crime situation. There are all kinds of crime such as dishonesty offence, drug offences, violent crime, propety damage and abuse, sexual offence and so on. The unfortunate situation is the figure is rising every year.

A woman was charge by police for killing a baby. The baby is only 3 years old and he is very lovely. His parents are very sad because of the death. Nobody know the reason why the lady conduct such an action, however, I hope that she will be punished and at the same time, parent should pay more attention to protect their children so that this kind of case will not happen again.

All kinds of people are likely to conduct illegally, such as man and woman, teenage, adults and old people. Not only those with low education level, but also those with high education rate, such as teachers. Teachers have received high education and they are the educator, if they set up bad or wrong samples, let's imagin what our world will be?

Besides those crimes conducted by adults, by observation, teenages' crime figure has been rising in recent years. For example, it is reported in NZ herald that 4 15-year-old boys are charged for stealing furniture. Teenages are growing adults who are not mature both physically and phychologically, so they are easily affected by other people; once they form some bad ideas, they may conduct more illegal actions when they grow up. Therefore, society should pay more attention to this group of people. More ethics education should be carried in schools, and parents should always care for their children to minimise their illegal conducts.

In addition, some teenages conducted a number of crimes which need special intelligence and technology. For example, NZ police charge a 17-year-boy for conducting globe cyble crime. His behavior is very shocking because what he did beyond most adults ability. His conduction infiltrated computers worldwide and brought down the system at a U.S. university, who caused damage of US$19 million. They are really very smart boys, however, they conducted in the wrong way. But if they can make correct use of their intelligence and carry out some correct behaviors, both the families and the society will get benefits.

High percentage crime is very harmful to the country and soceity, because it will affect the coutry's reputation in the world. As we all know, New Zealad is famous as a peaceful country, education and tourism are one of the main industries. But if it is not safe enough, people abroad will not come here to study and travel, also domestic resedence will try to immigrate to other countries, which are really bad for the country's short-term and long-term benefits.

Act MP David Garrett pointed out in his recent speaking that it is quite crucial to improve this situation. If the situation remains, this country will become worse and worse to live in. Hope that all people can work together to fight against crime and establish a peaceful and safe place for all of us to live in.
