So, in understanding the main purpose of migrating to America it becomes very…

a rather safe and quiet city. But in 2015, the city experienced more homicides than any year in the past two decades and landed itself among the most dangerous cities in America (Murphy “2015 Was St.”). In fact, just this year the city was named the most violent city in America (“St. Louis Named”). A large reason for the violence is gang affiliation. Another cause for their high violence rate is drugs. All those who live, work, and even those who visit the city and the city itself are affected…

causes crime to occur more often in certain areas than others? Crime rates are higher in certain areas than others, and historically these do not vary much over time. Poverty is a cycle that once someone is in, it is hard to get out of. Poverty is also often associated with street crime, and more violent crimes in general.

Currently, immigration has become one of the major socio-economic challenges worldwide. Several developed countries, as well as developing ones, are now suffering from the consequences of immigration. Moreover, not only the home countries but also the recipient nation states are…

one thing-- guns. Guns have been used for more than two hundred fifty years in the United States, but do citizens still need them even after America has achieved independence? Should America ban all guns? The answer is no, because a ban would increase the crime and murder rate, will not stop criminals from using guns, people’s circumstances have a better correlation to violent gun crimes than guns themselves, and crime has been going down.…

film Law and Disorder in Philadelphia exemplified high violence and crimes around the streets and in the neighborhood in Philadelphia. A theory for the high crime rate in Philadelphia could be from the result of distrust between the criminal justice system and the civilians.

Citizens of America use them for self-defense, target practice, hunting, and the most important from a tyrannical government. Our second amendment states that the United States Of America has the right to bear arms, but it seems that some citizens of America want to make it harder for us to own fire arms. Some want to ban semi-automatic rifles because “they kill people”. They also wish to ban high-capacity…
