There's too much violence on the streets. Actually, in big cities, there is lot of violence, that involves gangs fighting to take control of certain areas. Just in the past year, in Canada there have been robberies in jewelry stores done by kids or teenagers. Even carjacking and thefts happened to steal important makes and models like Lexus, Audi, Ferrari, or Honda CRV.
Laws here have to be stricter; it’s incredible that people know how to break the rules and take advantage of them. For example, if someone has been caught driving drunk, their driving licence should be suspended for 1 year, the car confiscated for 1 year, then the driver should serve a sentence in community services, and if caught again for the same crime, their sentence should be increased to 10 years.
The Canadian government should change the laws. This means that any person who has been released from jail and continues to commit violent acts, thefts, or scam should not be released again. Their prison sentence could be increased to up to 30 years depending on the crime.
