Humans have committed crimes since the beginning of civilization, and as cities have grown, so has crime. However, the problem is that cities in poor developing countries will have populations and crime rates that will grow exponentially. According to India's National Crime Records Bureau, "Recorded cases of rape in India have increased by almost 900 percent over the past 40 years... while cases of murder have increased by... 250 percent in 60 years" (Burke ). Even as their population and crime snowballed, little was done to improve the education systems or protective services of developing cities. At the current rate that cities are expected to urbanize, the only solution for rapidly developing countries is to build stronger protective services and improve public education systems to effectively slow crime and create safer cities. Urbanization has grown very steadily in the past, but is expected to begin to grow at a breakneck pace, putting extreme pressure on all urban systems. Urbanization occurs when people move from rural areas to concentrated, small areas, creating or expanding cities. When more than half of the population moves or lives in these small concentrated areas, the country is categorized as urbanized (“Urbanization” 1). In the 19th and 20th centuries, European countries urbanized slowly, which gave the government time to plan and implement projects and plans (“Urbanization” 1). More recently, rapid urbanization has begun to occur in other parts of the globe....... middle of paper ...... initially, the snowball effect involves improving education by keeping all possible children in school and off the streets. and implement an austere crime system with more law enforcement officers and create pragmatic policy. The reason why this was not implemented sooner is due to the greed of the rich and the inability of the poor to assert their interests. The rich in third world countries are afraid of losing their fantastic economic status and not standing up for what is right.

The poor in these countries are silenced, and their daily struggle to be a good person, to avoid danger, and their desperation for their basic needs can only be illuminated by benevolent international programs that have the means to put pressure on them. favor..
