Does the crime pay or not?In this essay, I would like to discuss the problems of crime and the criminal deeds. This question is important today as never before. Furthermore, this is the most vital problem and therefore it is worth discussing.In our country the crime usually pays. What crime is ever done it pays greatly, because there is not enough power of the government and the police to stop the development of criminal deeds. That is why you are “allowed” to do everything you like and more besides. Vladislav Listiev, Dmitry Holodov, Galina Starovoitova and many other famous politicians and businessmen were insolently assassinated and the customers of these criminal affairs are somewhere now enjoying their freedom and sure in the idea that the crime pays. I believe that for honest, religious and law respecting people, it is out of the question that crime does not pay, because they all know that if you commit a criminal deed you will be punished by the God, or by your own conscience. Nevertheless, in our society some people have forgotten about justice and law. They hardly understand their role in the life, and think that all the life is based around them and the others can be ignored or terminated. Such ideas are like parasites distributing among others and infecting them. Crime pays if it is well thought and prepared. For example lets take the robbery of the bank. Some people think that the robbery of the bank is connected with guns, a group of well-prepared terrorists, plans. I can only say that these people watch TV and do nothing else, because what you need for today’s robbery of the bank is a computer, a modem, and some easy skills. Moreover, you may be confident that no one will ever catch you if you steal little sums of money. Finally, I suppose I have concluded that there are two main points of view on this question. Crime does not pay or it pays. I tend to think that crime does not pay, because if I commit a crime (I wish I never did) I will suffer for all my life, go to police, and tell everything.
The first set of three stories stars a young boy named mowgli. he is raised by wolves, trained by a bear, kidnapped by monkeys, rescued by a panther and a snake, and kills and skins a tiger. all this before he hits puberty. in «the white seal,» kotick, the titular white seal, who lives in the bering sea (which is not the jungle), sees his adorable, cute, cuddly, fuzzy seal buddies get clubbed to death and their bloody skins ripped from their little bodies. yikes. he decides to search for an island where all seals can be safe, but when he finds it, all the seals are too lazy to move. talk about ungrateful, right? kotick, who’s all big and strong from all the swimming, kicks all the seals’ tails. impressed by his strength, they follow him to safety. our protagonist in «toomai of the elephants» is toomai (of the elephants). he follows his elephant kala nag into the jungle and witnesses a top-secret elephant dance ritual. finally, there’s «our majesty’s servants,» in which a bunch of military service animals—donkeys, camels, and horses, oh my—chat about fear and obedience. we didn’t forget «rikki-tikki-tavi» either. the most iconic star of the jungle book next to mowgli the boy wonder gets his shmoop on over here.
Crime has been around us for many centuries. Every day when we open a newspaper or turn on TV almost all we read or hear is about criminals and their illegal actions. According to the law, people who commit a crime must be punished, imprisoned or even sentenced to a death penalty. Without punishment our life in the society would be less secure, although sometimes punishment isn’t strict enough, to my mind.
Some kinds of crimes are as old as the human society (such as stealing, pick-pocketing, vandalism, assault or domestic violence, murder and manslaughter), others are a more recent phenomenon. Armed robbery of stores and banks, hacking into computers (so called “cyber frauds”), corruption or forgery of money and documents, for instance, are some of them. The 20th century has also seen the appearance of organized crimes such as drug-trafficking, drug-smuggling and hijacking. Statistics show an alarming rise of violent crimes and crimes to do with the illegal sale of arms across the world. Unfortunately women and children often become the victims of crime. Sometimes criminals kidnap rich people or their kids and ask for a ransom to be paid for them.
Besides violent crimes, there are so called “white-collar crimes” in our modern society. These are frauds when a person isn’t physically threatened or hurt. Among them are tax evasion (when people are accused of not paying taxes on purpose), bribery, identity theft (when a criminal steals personal information of another person in order to use his credit cards or bank accounts, for example).
To crown it all, we must regret that today a great deal of crimes is committed by teenagers who want to become independent as soon as possible and to find a royal road to getting much money. Teenagers use drugs and drink alcohol, so they can’t control themselves. Moreover, modern TV programs and films containing much violence and sex often have huge and negative influence on teenagers.
In conclusion I should say that crime prevention in our society is an extremely difficult and complicated task because we should change our social and moral principles at large.

Преступления в нашем современном обществе
Преступления окружают нас многие столетия. Каждый день, когда мы открываем газету или включаем телевизор, почти все, что мы читаем или слышим – это преступники и их противоправные действия. По закону люди, совершившие преступления, должны быть наказаны, заключены в тюрьму или даже приговорены к смертной казни. Без наказания наша жизнь в обществе была бы менее безопасной, хотя иногда наказание бывает недостаточно строгим, по моему мнению.
Некоторые виды преступлений стары, как само человеческое общество (такие как воровство, карманная кража, вандализм, разбой и домашнее насилие, умышленное и непредумышленное убийство), другие виды стали более недавним явлением. Вооруженное ограбление магазинов и банков, взлом компьютеров (так называемый «кибер-криминал»), коррупция или подделка банкнот и документов, к примеру, являются некоторыми из них. 20-й век также увидел появление организованных преступлений, таких как контрабанда и незаконный оборот наркотиков и захват самолета. Статистика показывает тревожный рост жестоких преступлений и криминала, связанного с незаконной продажей оружия по всему миру. К сожалению, часто женщины и дети становятся жертвами криминала. Иногда преступники похищают богатых людей или их детей и требуют за них выкуп.
Помимо жестоких преступлений, в нашем современном обществе существуют так называемые должностные преступления. Это мошеннические действия, когда человеку не угрожают физически и не причиняют боль. Среди них – уклонение от налогов (когда люди обвиняются в преднамеренной неуплате налогов), взяточничество, хищение персональных данных (когда преступник похищает личную информацию другого человека с целью использования его кредитных карт или банковских счетов, к примеру).
Ну и наконец, мы должны с сожалением признать, что сегодня большое количество преступлений совершается подростками, которые хотят стать независимыми как можно быстрее и найти легкий способ добычи денег. Подростки употребляют наркотики и алкоголь, поэтому они не контролируют себя. Более того, современное ТВ и фильмы содержат много жестокости и секса и часто имеют огромное негативное влияние на подростков.
В завершение хочу сказать, что предотвращение криминала в нашем обществе является крайне трудной и сложной задачей, потому что нам следует менять наши общественные и моральные принципы в целом.

На английском языке. Robbery
There are so many crimes people commit around the world. And one of the most widespread crimes is stealing. Why do people steal from each other? There can be several reasons for that.
First of all nowadays we face a problem of poverty. People are not financially equal, some of them are rich, live in big houses and can afford everything they want. Others can barely find what to eat. That’s why they start stealing things. They can use these things, or most of the times they sell them to get money. Some people not just steal things but rob flats or banks. But of course not all poor people start to steal.
Stealing is also popular among teenagers, they do that just because they want to have fun. Teenagers don’t steal big things, usually something small.
But it doesn’t matter if the stealing is big or little, it’s bad anyway. It’s very addictive, if you steal once you will steal more and more. So I think that all people who steal should be punished in some way. I feel sorry for people who don’t have money, but most of the time it’s their own fault that they lose jobs or just buy too much alcohol. Of course there are different situations, but every situation should be seen separately. Перевод на русский язык. Ограбление
Люди в мире совершают так много преступлений. И одно из самых распространенных – это кражи. Почему же люд крадут друг у друга? Может быть несколько причин.
Прежде всего, сегодня мы сталкиваемся с проблемой бедности. Люди финансово неравны, некоторые – богатые, живут в больших домах и могут позволить себе все, что захотят. Другие едва ли находят, что поесть. Поэтому они начинают красть. Они могут использовать ворованные вещи, или продавать их и получать деньги. Некоторые даже начинают обворовывать квартиры или банки. Но, конечно, не все люди начинают воровать.
Кражи также часто встречаются среди подростков, они делают это просто, чтобы повеселиться. Подростки не крадут крупные вещи, а обычно маленькие.
Но неважно большая это кража или маленькая, это все равно плохо. К этому привыкаешь, если один раз украл, значит, будешь красть еще и еще. Так что я думаю, что все люди, которые воруют, должны быть наказаны каким-то образом. Мне жаль тех, у кого нет денег, но чаще всего они виноваты сами, что теряют работу или просто покупают слишком много алкоголя. Конечно, существуют разные ситуации, и каждую из них нужно рассматривать отдельно.
В Нью-Йорке совершено нападение на банк, при этом грабитель был вооружен букетом цветов и запиской с содержанием “Не геройствуй”.
A robber has attacked a bank in New York, armed with a bunch of flowers and a note reading “Don’t be a hero”.

Armed robbers broke into the shop and demanded money from the till (касса). bunch [b?n?] – a group of things that are fastened, held, or growing together (связка, пучок, пачка, )
I’ll send her a bunch of flowers.
The thief approached the cashier’s window in the United States with a large bouquet of flowers and handing over a hold-up note.
В Соединенных Штатах вор подошел к окошку кассира с большим букетом цветов и протянул записку с сообщением об ограблении. bouquet [bu’ke?] hand over (phrasal verb) – to give something to someone with your hand, especially because they have asked for it or should have it:
He handed the phone over to me. hold-up (informal) an attempt to rob a place or person by threatening them with a weapon:
a bank hold-up
Police told The New York Post they were examining a large bunch of blooms – yellow chrysanthemums, orange and red daisies, and gladioli buds, among others flowers – used by the man in the robbery last week.
Как сообщили газете “Нью-Йорк Пост” в полиции, была проведена экспертиза букета, с которым грабитель совершил нападение на прошлой неделе. Среди прочих цветов в букете были желтые хризантемы, оранжевые и красные маргаритки и бутоны гладиолусов. bloom[blu?m] – a flower or flowers:
beautiful red blooms
a mass of bloom on the apple trees chrysanthemum [kr?’s?n??m?m] daisy [‘de?z?] – маргаритка gladiolus [?gl?d?’?ul?s], (plural) gladioli [?gl?d?’?ula?] bud [b?d] – a young tightly rolled up flower or leaf before it opens (бутон, почка):
rose buds
A security camera photo published by the police showed the suspect standing at the cashier’s window holding the bouquet while handing over the note, which reportedly read: “Give me all your hundreds, fifties, don’t be a hero.”
Полиция опубликовала фотографию, сделанную с камер наблюдения, на которой видно, как подозреваемый стоит с букетом в руках у окошка кассира и протягивает ему записку. По имеющимся сведениям содержание записки было таким: “Не геройствуй, а отдавай все сотни и полтинники”.
The man fled the scene after the teller handed over $440 (?288).
После того как кассир передал грабителю 440 долларов (288 фунтов), тот скрылся с места ограбления. flee (past tense and past participle – fled) – (written) to leave somewhere very quickly, in order to escape from danger:
His attackers turned and fled. teller – someone whose job is to receive and pay out money in a bank
The New York Post reported that it was the second known bank heist by the suspect, who last week robbed a different New York bank armed with a potted houseplant.
По сообщению Нью-Йорк Пост это второе по счету нападение, совершенное подозреваемым. На прошлой неделе он ограбил другой Нью-Йоркский банк, вооружившись при этом цветком в горшке. heist (American English informal) – an act of stealing something very valuable from a shop, bank etc (= robbery):
a jewelry heist pot – a container for a plant, usually made of plastic or baked clay:
