2. Part one I. Related Information 1. Crime Prevention In the United States today, more attention is given to ways of preventing crime. There are special police programs and training programs in self-defense aiming at helping citizens guard themselves. Police departments have even offered to citizens “tips” on how to take precautions while walking at night. For example, “not to walk near dark buildings or high shrubbery or parked cars”, “never to take shortcuts

In some neighborhoods, large “eye” signs are posted very conspicuously to indicate that the place is closely watched by police.

4. 2. Possession of Guns by American Individuals In some cities and states of the US, it is illegal to possess hand guns; in others one may possess them but they must be registered with the police; in other places there are no restrictions whatsoever on possession of hand guns. (In all parts of the US it is permissible to own rifles.) Because the laws vary so greatly from place to place, it is not difficult to buy a gun—if they are illegal where you live, you can always travel to where they are legally sold and buy one there.

5. The possession of guns by individuals is becoming a controversial issue. Some people think crime will be going up with more and more people having guns, while others just hold the opposite view. They are respectively known as anti-gun lobby and pro-gun lobby.
