Crime [NiceNet Post]

I believe that there is crime no matter where you go, anymore its hard to tell if your safe or not. But you just have to go on with you life and just keep up to date with everything that is going on. Dont get me wrong though, people are trying to stop crime from happening but to me it just seems like the people who do the crimes really dont care, and no matter how much trouble they get into they are never going to learn. But they really do need to learn, because you never know if one little crime might make you loose your life.
