2. We often hear in the media about various crimes
committed by young people. There are crimes such as
burglary, assault, robbery. What are the reasons of
them? One factor is violence and pathology in families.
The next important reasons are taking drugs and also
bad influence of television and the Internet. We can't
stand idly by! We should do something with it. Adults
can fight with such behaviour by talking with young
people, setting a good example and helping them when
they have problems. Otherwise, they wouldn't cope with
the surrounding reality.

4. The story written by the life
These unforgettable events will remain in the memory of Krosno district people.
Mrs. Maria Kuliga ( 75 years old) is a resident of Korczyna.
She remembers this night when someone visited her very well. At midnight in February last
year
Mrs. Maria was sleeping when she heard a strange sounds from behind the kitchen window.
After shielding the curtain she saw two men. The first man was fat and short and the second
man was slim and tall. In a moment these men started hitting the door. Probably they wanted
to open the door.
The frightened woman held the mobile phone in her hand but everything died away. After a
moment thugs came back.
With greater power they started to hit the door. The frightened woman called for security
services.
"I didn't know what I was supposed to do" -a woman was saying. "When the thugs heard my
false conversations, they escaped"-saying Mrs. Maria. Looking out of the window the woman
saw these men well because the moon shone brightly.
Mrs. Maria’s neighbour saw this event. He wanted to go to her in order to help her.
"I don't know what would happen with me, if they came to my house but I didn't call the
police"- Mrs. Maria said.
Today she is living in terror. Everything at night causes that she is afraid.

next page.

5. A few days later after this incident another elderly women were
attacked.
Mrs. Maria Jakubik was sleeping when her dog was barking.
Somebody hit a window and somebody smashed a window-pane.
Two men armed into the knife and the handgun, dressed in dark
tracksuits, in masks on their faces, started threatening the woman.
The old lady was frightened. "When they tied my hands and destroyed
my mobile phone they started threatening me" - said Mrs. Maria
Jakubik . The thugs took money and they devastated her house.
The next day Mrs. Maria’s son called the security services. Then it
turned out that Mrs. Maria Kuliga had similar experience.
The police officers visited residents of Korczyna. The thugs each time
got into houses in different ways.
Mrs. Maria a woman from Korczyna was luckier than the remaining
women. The police officers were looking around the neighbourhood
but they said that they cannot assure safety for every lonely person.
All residents of Krosno district were shocked . All lonely and elderly
women live with the feeling of fear because the thugs are free.
" We hope that they will get what they deserve at one time "- said
residents of Korczyna.
The thugs did another crimes, and the local police are helpless.
We ordinary people, can help to catch thieves or discover their
identity.

6. A police officer from the main headquarters in Krosno answered
above questions.
What should the police in the case of pickpockets and car crime do?
The police prevention, that is early prevention is the most important issue. They can
give advice and warn people. If we take into consideration citizens, their appropriate
prevention is also extremely important. In case of pickpockets the population should
become aware of what to do and not to do. For example not to carry wallets, bags
with large sums of money. As for the car crime one should be advised in what way
and where to leave vehicles.
What one should do in order to prevent crime?
It is only possible to limit it and to avoid threats. Crime is an
essential part of the civilisation.

8. I'm having an interview with Zofia Zwiercan today about crime in
Korczyna, our town.
J.Z: Good morning.
Z.Z: Good morning.
J.Z: Today, we're talking about crime in Korczyna. Have
you ever come across it in our town?
Z.Z: Korczyna is a quite calm town and I don't practically
see any serious crime in here. But there is, of course,
some petty crime like thefts, shoplifting.
J.Z: What is your view: is this type of crime increasing these days?
Z.Z: It seems to me that it is still increasing – the most frequently
in schools and shops. I also hear about deception sometimes, but it's much rarer.
J.Z: What should we do to decrease the thefts? Do you have any idea?
Z.Z: There should be a lot of talks about it in schools, I think.
J.Z: Do you feel safe in our town?
Z.Z: Rather yes. As I said, there isn't any serious crime here and I hope it won't change.
J.Z: How about safety at roads? What can you say about it?
Z.Z: I often read in newspapers about car accidents in close towns.
And I must say that our town is quite safe if we are talking about it.
Sometimes, there are drunk drivers but it happens really rarely.
J.Z: Thank you for the interview. Goodbye.
Z.Z: Thank you. Goodbye.

9. Crime- phenomenon
more and more
spreading in the society.
The feeling of being threatened by the crime is high. This is a political
and social problem. The increase of sense of threat is often co-occuring
with such phenomena as:
-worsening the standard of citizens everyday life,
-reducing the confidence in the administration of justice, the police or
state authorities
-limiting the possibility of carrying on modern criminal prevention,
which is mainly based on the cooperation of the police with the
citizens.

10. Residents should be more careful. They should help
each other in the neighbourhood. People shouldn't be
indifferent to the evil that happens to the others.
We should help people who cannot deal with their life
and escape to commit a crime. Don’t be unsympathetic
if someone gets hurt!
