What is the best way to steal? Over many years, thieves prearranged many plans on how to get away with theft. This is how some of the history’s most creative crooks made off with millions.

The truth of the matter is that these offenses are considered more…

After reviewing the previously discussed crime measurements, I am mainly concerned with the rapid increase in street robberies that have increased almost 25% since 2012. This crime has a devastating effect on the community. Street robbery may generate a significant amount of fear among the public because victims are often confronted with an immediate threat to life, a loss of control and incursion of personal space (Gale & Coupe, 2005).
