The increase in city crime is a global phenomenon. Some people say that a lot of crime in this country is because of (1. migrate)________ and the new people arriving from other countries bring different (2. culture)________ values and attitudes to the law. I don’t agree with this idea because the most common crimes are (3. local)________ produced and not imported from other countries. (4. Vandal)________ is one of the biggest crimes in my city with bus shelters and shop windows being popular targets. Another popular crime is (5. pay)________ parking fines, which is unlikely to be because of immigrants because most of them do not own cars. The (6.oppose)________ point of view is that young local people feel angry when they can’t get a job and in order to (7. hand)________ the change in their environment, they strike out at easy targets. This would explain why bicycle (8. thief)________ is more common than car crime these days, especially in rich (9. neighbors)________ where most cars are protected with electronic alarms. Another reason, though, for so many bicycles getting stolen might be that the (10. punish)________ is not very severe compared to car stealing which can land you in prison for a number of years.
