What is a crime? A crime is an act in violation of the law. In today’s ever-increasing population crime rates have increased for the worst. A man was suspected of steeling two vehicles, one in San Bernardino and the other in El Serano. Investigators caught him on footage while he drove into a gas station on Hollywood Blvd. According to the article, the suspect aimed his gun towards the people inside the store. The policemen then aimed their guns toward the man and eventually killed him. I personally believe that individuals who commit crimes like theft and robbery should be incarcerated. They should pay the consequences of their actions. Through incarceration people cannot commit crimes. In today’s society I believe that there should be more control and authority. For example, in today’s popular use of media teens and adults get the wrong idea of behavior. Some shows send the wrong message, leading people to commit unlawful crimes.
