[originaltext]M: So, Rebecca, where are you from? W: I’m from America.

M: So, Rebecca, where are you from?        
W: I’m from America.
M: I’ve never been to America. What’s crime like in America?  
W: I think it probably varies a lot, depending on the city. I actually lived for a while in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Living there, I never actually thought it was unsafe or anything, but looking back, it makes me go like, we actually lived with that? That’s insane! Like there are certain areas in town you just don’t drive, because if you stop your car in that area, you know, it’s extremely dangerous.
M: So, what’s the most common kind of crime?     
W: Um, we had a lot of gang problems, a lot of robberies, a lot of guns, and there were a lot of shootings in Albuquerque, especially in the...I can’t remember the name of the area now, but down in this one area, there were a lot. Down in the valley, there were a lot of gang problems.
M: Really? What’s the best way to stop it, do you think?
W: Oh God, I have no idea. The only thing we can say is, you know, to trust the police to do their job and save us all. But even just that, to be honest, a lot of problems in the United States come from the fact that we’re allowed to have guns. But as an American, it’s a part of my, you know, national rights to have guns. And if you say, you can’t have guns, then it would be very upsetting as an American, because it’s like part of, you know, what built the country.
M: Yeah.         
W: But because we have so many guns, that makes crime a whole lot easier to do.
