Crime Rate

In the last ten years America has seen the most drastic rise in crime rate and killings ever. At 4.7 murders per 100,000 people in 2012, it is by far the highest in the developed world. Why is it that the crime rate has so drastically increased? Is it because of the current debt that the united states are in. We are currently trillions of dollars in debt.  During our last depression the “great depression” the crime rate drastically increased, because people will do whatever it takes to provide for themselves and their family. Another reason I believe for the current crime rate is because of my generation. If you think about the current role models that my generation and the generation after me has to look up to it almost embarrassing. Athletes have been getting DUI’s and criminal records like crazy, many musician are not considered “cool” unless they have a criminal record. These are the people that many kids inspire to do and there setting examples that unfortunately kids follow.  I really don’t know what to suggest stopping this. No matter what you or me say people are going to continue doing what they want. Even the few good role models cannot inspire enough people to stop what they’re doing, and to our current debt we have a long time until its back to okay.  The crime rate is a problem that many people are avoiding, but it is just one step that needs to be taken to make America what it was before, the true super power of the world.
