Street crime refers to criminal activities that occur in public places, often involving direct interaction between the offender and the victim. Common examples include theft, robbery, assault, and vandalism. These crimes typically happen in urban areas and can affect individuals, businesses, and communities. Factors contributing to street crime may include poverty, lack of education, and social disorganization. Law enforcement agencies, such as the police, work to prevent and respond to these crimes through patrols, community engagement, and crime prevention programs. Addressing street crime often requires collaboration between government, community organizations, and residents.
