Crime is defined as any act against religions or against the law.  There are many kinds of crime and there is a defined punishment for each crime.  Crimes can be triggered by many factors.  There are more crimes in large cities than in villages and small towns.  When I was applying to come here to study, I was so careful to chose a safe and a secure country.  In addition, I was confused of choosing Canada or USA. Since I searched about them it was so easier for me to choose Canada than the USA. Furthermore, Calgary has a good system and security. In each street you find a car for police which is hard for offender to make a crime.  They have also a helpful system it called "help." this system available in the stations, centers and trains. This system help people avoid crimes. Canada is a strict for punishing criminals that makes it less violent environment. but my country is much safer than Canada because of punishment. My country has a stronger punishment than Canada. In summary, I believe that the more rules ar strict, the less crimes will occur.
