FINAL ORAL COMMUNICATION SCHEDULE

Ideas

Good morning…

Today we are going to talk about CRIME IN AMERICA.

Before we start this discussion, we should take in account some basic important things about the crime in America.

-Crime statistics for the United States are published annually by the Federal Bureau of investigation in the Uniform Crime Reports which represents crimes reported to the police

-The USA has three main forces: DEA, FBI, POLICE (with zone divisions, like LAPD, NYPD) and three complementary ones like ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE, CIA and SECRET SERVICE (only are in scene for specific facts).

- Detroit, Dallas, Philadelphia and San Francisco are the most dangerous cities in the USA. (Source: FBI Statics 2009). Being Detroit , the most dangerous city in the USA.

- Nowadays, it’s more common in standards, the sexual-based crime. The characteristics common between most of the offenders are that have some psychological problems before commit the crime.

- Now, homicides are quite-low in comparison with other years.

- US have 5.4 scored in the rate of crimes made by international specific organizations. It’s quite-low.

-For this discussion we can separate the crime in VIOLENT CRIME and NON – VIOLENT CRIME.

-Some factors that dismiss the crime are: EDUCATION, GOOD TREATH BY THE GOVERNMENT, INTERSTING BY GOVERNMENT, EFECTIVENESS OF SECURITY FORCES, RESPECT FOR LAWS.

QUESTIONS…

Before we continue, I would like to say something about SECURITY FORCES in the USA. In my time here, I could see many officers of the law patrolling in the streets and when I arrived, a lot of control at airport. It’s interesting to me, because in my country the police is less effective and less armed. I think that security in America is very functional in comparison with other countries. The crime here is quite-controlled.

Taking in account that security forces are important protagonists of security in our countries, let’s open the discussion with this question:

Are the security forces strong in your own country?

Well, let’s keep talking about United States…

Analyzing what we saw a few minutes ago…

*How do you think that we can stop the crime in America?

Imagine that you are placed in the head of the internal organization about crime in the US…

*How do you think that you could do a great job combating crime in the streets of the 4 most dangerous cities?

*Why do you think that Detroit is the most dangerous city?

*How do you think that we can awareness society about commit crimes?

The most dangerous factors of VIOLENT CRIME are:

-GANGS

-YOUNG CRIME

-POVERTY

-DRUGS – ALCOHOL.

In fact, in the USA, you have fewer chances to be victim of a crime than other countries.

*What about Taiwan?

*What about Argentina?

*How do you think that you can combat the crime in your own country?

*What would you do if one of your friends or your family commit a crime?

We’re just about out of time, so I’d like to conclude by saying that the crime is an important problem that we have to face as a society and work together to solve it.
