On the one hand, news are talking about shoplifting, bank robbery and vandalism. When looking for the reasons why people commit crimes I can only say what I believe to be sure of, and it is that individuals go against laws because they choose so, as criminal behaviour is a matter of choice. People want to have somebody`s things for living better. If somebodys house is looking too good, there is nice-looking car next to house or there are not so many families living in the neighbourhood and burglar can see that there is nobody in the house also, then burglar might notice, that there is a green light for him. But when thinking of proper punishment, I, for one, think that we are too lenient. At least in our country. There have been excerpts in the media of how the government wants to reform prisoners and help them getting on their feet after leaving prison. In conclusion, there are multiple reasons why people misbehave and commit crimes. It may be an outcome of
talking about shoplifting, bank robbery and vandalism. The biggest robbery was some years ago, when Estonian criminals robbed jewelleries from all over Europa, worth 25 million euros. On the other hand there are crimes, which are not on the first page of newspaper, for example burglary. People want to have somebody`s things for living better. If somebodys house is looking too good, there is nice-looking car next to house or there are not so many families living in the neighbourhood and burglar can see that there is nobody in the house also, then burglar might notice, that there is a green light for him. People, who are not stealing, but still want to live a easy life with lot of money, are smuggling. They can buy cheap things and sell them with much more money as they could do that. Normally they are smuggling alcohol, drugs and other illegal or high-tax goods. Police is making everything they can do, but people should think about their life, future

Fagin is a conniving career criminal. He trains homeless children’s to pick pockets for him. He is also bought other people’s stolen things. Fagin don’t commit crimes himself however he employs others to commit them. Nancy was picking pockets for Fagin’s. She is also Sikes’s lover however after Sikes abused Oliver, she didn’t love him anymore. Nancy gives her life for Oliver when Sikes murders her for revealing his house. Bill Sikes is a professional burglar. Sikes is Nancy's lover, and he treats his dog with a cruelty. He murdered Nancy. Mr. Bumble is a beadle who works for the workhouse where Oliver is born. He behaves without compassion toward the children’s. In my opinion, the movie is a good movie and it worth of watching. It is a good to know what happened at England in 18. Century and what children’s had to do, to survive in community. My favourite character is Nancy who didn’t want that Sikes
More officers means more people will certainly get help and feel safe again, which is the most important. Also criminals cannot accomplish crimes, because they definitely do not want to be caught. Secondly, we have to establish tougher sentences for those who commit crimes. First reason being is they will sit longer in prison. Second reason: delinquent will think before he does something. For intance murderer will get death penalty or perhaps some burglar will do community service for long hours. Another option is to teach children not to take a evil road. It takes time, but everything comes down to mind and thoughts. Specialist will give lectures about problem anticipation to parents, children. We have to give them education which will prevent them from doing offences. To conclude, we have many options, which we can start using now. For now we can use temporary or long lasting choice. By the time we get older

It is, however, no time to suggest strategies when the threat has not even been acknowledged to exist. I am in the position of Louis Pasteur telling doctors that their greatest enemy was quite invisible, and quite unrecognized by them. Our conventional response to all media, namely that it is how they are used that counts, is the numb stance of the technological idiot. For the "content" of a medium is like the juicy piece of meat carried by the burglar to distract the watchdog of the mind. The effect of the medium is made strong and intense just because it is given another medium as "content." The content of a movie is a novel or a play or an opera. The effect of the movie form is not related to its program content. The "content" of writing or print is speech, but the reader is almost entirely unaware either of print or of speech. Arnold Toynbee is innocent of any understanding of media as they have shaped history, but he
longer words. Verb: back-form (itself a back-formation). Backformation is a form of shortening in which the omitted material is or is perceived to be a formative, typically an affix. Itsomission produces a new form with a meaning related to but distinct from that of the etymon. Backformation has been a surprisingly productive source of new words.” Examples: baby-sit (babysitter), televise (television), emote (emotion), edit (editor), burgle (burglar), peeve (peevish), diagnose (diagnosis) 24. Alphabetisms, initialisms, acronyms – types of shortening Alphabetisms: An expression may be shortened to a sequence of letters pronounced as their names, as FM ‘frequency modulation’ is pronounced ‘eff em’. The letters are not necessarily the initials of separate words or even morphemes: TV from television and American PJs or peejays from pyjamas. Special letters, such as those of the signal alphabet,
Anderson and Pichert investigated if schema processing influences both encoding and retrieval. The participants in their experiment were given one schema at the encoding stage and another one in the retrieval stage, to see if they were influenced by the lateral schema when they had to recall the story. The story was based on 72 points, rated by a group of people. Half of the participants were asked to read it from the point of view of a house-buyer and half of a point of view of a burglar. After reading, they performed a distracting task for 12 minutes and then they were asked to recall. Then half of the participants were asked to change their schema and half retained the original one. There was another 5-minute delay. When they recalled the story the second time, the researchers found that the participants who changed their schema recalled 7 per cent more points compared to the first trial. Recall of points that were
