Each year, car theft and burglary together costs about [br]
Each year car theft costs us about $300 million, and burglary sets us back by another $150 million.
Yet the police reckon that one car in five is left unlocked, or with windows open, or with expensive goods on display. It is estimated that over 60% of homes still do not have any window locks, although that’s better than a few years ago when it was near 90%.
These facts illustrate a basic truth. The truth is that most criminals are on the lookout for a soft touch. They are not experienced "professionals" who set out with particular targets in mind, but young, inexperienced or unsophisticated. What they’re looking for is a house or car that will let them get in, get what they want and get away quickly.
Many of these opportunities can just as easily be removed, by fitting and using locks, or by taking other very simple precautions. And if we can prevent inexperienced criminals with proper individual effort and cost, how much more could be achieved by working together in Neighborhood Watches? Or in other local activities involving police, councils, businesses, voluntary groups and schools? More radically still, what might we see if more systematic effort was made to design anti-crime features into cars, houses and estates?
This is not a pipe dream; it’s already happening.
选项
A、Individuals should take small precautions like locking windows.
B、Neighborhood and local communities should work together to prevent it.
C、Cars, houses and estates should design anti-crime features.
D、Government should enforce tougher laws against burglary.
答案
D
解析
短文中提到,如果我们提前预防,很多被盗窃的机会就会被消除,A与之相符;通过和社区的共同努力会获得更大的成效,B与之相符;或者在汽车、房屋以及财产中设计一些防犯罪的性能,C与之相符。只有D未提及,故选D。
