What can ordinary people do to help in the fight against crime?



People often blame police and authorities because they don't do "anything" against crime, in which the most affected are just ordinary people; but, think it or not, we can do lots of things to fight against crime because we can't let criminals do whatever they want. We need to feel safe ourselves by no putting in risk our integrity, don't walk in dangerous streets or in footbridges where you know you can be stolen by criminals. You can also buy (if you can) things to protect yourselves, such as change the lock, buy electric shock tools in case of self defense, buy a dog and train it with special abilities, buy panic bottoms, pepper sprays, or in special cases, you can by a gun, but it's not recommendable because of the bad use people can give it. Another healthier solution is to learn physical self defense, like kung fu, karate, tae kwon do, etc. Some useful pieces of advice is to keep your personal information safe from unknown people, be always aware of people you don't know, which it doesn't mean you have to be paranoid all the time, just be careful.

As you can see, there are so many ways to help avoid and fight against crime, don't leave the solutions to authorities if you can do something about it, you can protect yourself, as we all know, not everything is for free, but, will you keep waiting for something to happen you and your family? What do you expect? While people in charge don’t care about us we need to deal in the best ways this issue, what are waiting for?

Your ideas are a bit surprising to me! Your conclusion sounds like something the NRA (National Rifle Association) would say. However, you do have some good ideas supported with clear examples. You have also written your article in the appropriate style.
