Personally, i don't think crime can be stopped. there will always be many factors that contribute to crime which the government cant do anything about. these factors obviously are genetics, poverty, and media which we learned about.
people cant stop genetics from causing crime. what are they going to do, go into our DNA structure and change our DNA? ohh, maybe the human genome project can help us out a little. although this is a possibility, i dont think that you can find the exact gene that causes crime and change it around to make people donate money instead of stealing, or even save someone's life instead of taking it from them. maybe there is a gene for stealing, or killing.... i have no idea. also this would cost a lot of money to do and a lot of time.
with poverty, about the only thing people can do to prevent poverty is to give them money, money in which we dont have. people should just get a job and then maybe people wouldnt steal for money. even though some people have jobs it may not pay enough so they steal anyways. so there is really no way to stop crime in poverty. we should make the jails worse than they are so then people would be afraid to go there. it shouldnt be a privilege for people to go to jail. in poverty some people live in such bad conditions, they want to go to jail, so lets make jail worse than ever.
media also causes crime by making people think it is ok to kill when they watch videos or video games which kill people. people think they can kill and get away with it from imitating other cases where people got off.
Genetics, Poverty, and Media are all factors that causes crime all over the world. there are almost no ways that would work to fix these problems.
