[speaker001:] Is there a lot of crime in your city?
[speaker002:] There 's some, but I don 't think it 's a big problem. A lot of it is petty crime, burglary and car theft. There 's very little major crime.
[speaker001:] It 's the same in my city. We also have a lot of drug addicts. A lot of the crime is committed by drug addicts who need money for drugs.
[speaker002:] That happens in many places. In my city, there is a very good drug rehabilitation programme. The police and courts are also tough on people who commit crimes, but I don 't know if that 's the reason for
[speaker001:] Some people believe that a tough approach is better. Other prefer a more lenient approach.
[speaker002:] I think that the best way to reduce crime is to spread wealth more evenly. If most people have similar amounts of money, they will not think of stealing from others.
[speaker001:] That 's possible, but I 'm not sure it would really happen like that.
