Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing good jobs to young men who are hard to employ can reduce the number of motivated offenders by giving them a legitimate way to earn money and support themselves. This can decrease their likelihood of turning to criminal activities. The other options do not address the root cause of motivation for committing crimes. Burglar alarms and smart guns only aim to prevent crimes from happening but do not address why individuals are motivated to commit crimes. Having servers in pubs intervene when necessary can help reduce violent behavior in a specific environment but does not address the larger issue of reducing the overall number of motivated offenders.
