Today we are going to talk about CRIME IN AMERICA.
Before we start this discussion, we should take in account some basic
important things about the crime in America.
-Crime statistics for the United States are published annually by the Federal Bureau of
investigation in the Uniform Crime Reports which represents crimes reported to the police
-The USA has three main forces: DEA, FBI, POLICE (with zone divisions, like LAPD, NYPD) and
three complementary ones like ARMY, NAVY, AIR FORCE, CIA and SECRET SERVICE (only are in
scene for specific facts).
- Detroit, Dallas, Philadelphia and San Francisco are the most dangerous cities in the USA.

QUESTIONS
Before we continue, I would like to say something about SECURITY
FORCES in the USA. In my time here, I could see many officers of the
law patrolling in the streets and when I arrived, a lot of control at
airport. Its interesting to me, because in my country the police is less
effective and less armed. I think that security in America is very
functional in comparison with other countries. The crime here is quitecontrolled.
Were just about out of time, so Id like to conclude by saying that the
crime is an important problem that we have to face as a society and
work together to solve it.
