Global Citizenship

Introduction
• The following report describes about the burning
problem in the society i.e. crime.
• It has been a very outraging social problem in the
entire world.
• This is really a very important issue to be resolved
since the entire world is suffering from the evils of this
social problem.
• Professionally it can be said that the international
institutions are trying their best to cope up with this
evil in a better way (Akers, 2017).

Social Analysis
• Self-reflective social reflection model
• Social standards and customs
• Well-being of innocent people

Conclusion
• This social analysis can be concluded by
saying that crime is considered to be a very
sensitive issue and this has to be dealt with
much caution.
• The international justice boards have to take
very strict actions in this issue positively.

Proposal
• In this proposal some important questions would be set up along with
the social action plan to curb this issue properly (Gounev & Ruggiero,
2012).
• The social evil of crime should be handled properly so the lives of many
innocent people could be saved indeed. There are some important things
that I would like to share with everyone.
• If the rate of crime gets higher in the society, the lives of the people will
get higher (Gounev & Ruggiero, 2012). The violation of the rules in the
society has given the rise for the criminal activities.
• The criminal activities by a certain section of people in the society has
been due to many reasons like poverty, mental sickness, density of the
population, greed for wealth and unequal distribution of money in the
society (Abadinsky, 2012).

Questions
• How can the rate of crimes be diminished?
• What are the ways the correction can be done
for the state of minds of the criminals?
• What changes are required to improve the
social balance?
