Why so much crime?
Frequent visitors!
Crime check

Crime, and especially violent crime, is on the increase in many parts of the world.  We invite you to think about the reasons for this, the causes of crime.  Read one writer's opinion and review  vocabulary connected with it.  

Try a quiz on how people become victims - and how to avoid becoming one.  Listen to an interview with a lady who has been burgled and a crime prevention officer and finally, check some phrasal verb vocabulary related to the subject.
