Value Based Education---Remedy to Decrease Crime (by ABC) Respected Chairperson, Honourable Judges and dear audience I am here to present my views that Value Based education is the only remedy for decreasing the crime rate amongst the educated folk. The headlines of daily newspapers are filled with gory details of crimes committed by robbery. We often hear of chain snatching, shop-lifting, stabbing, kidnapping and robbery. Murder for money is the latest phenomenon indulged in by anti-social elements. It is said that unemployment and poverty force the youth to adopt criminal activities.

Employment opportunities should always be increased to channelize their energy.
