• EQ:How best can society reduce the levels of drug-related crime
• Answer #3 (Write in a complete sentence like a thesis statement)* A way that society can reduce the drug related crime in our communities is by investing in local projects to offer help for the people that seek it.
• 3 details to support the answer (a detail is a fact and an example): 
• People often times don't have the initiative to seek help due to law enforcement and money. 
• Investing money in projects to get the information to the people can possibly lower the drug use, thus lowering the crime. 
• In the book, "Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do," a model was murdered due to drugs because she struggled financially and the drug business was the only place she found help. If other means of help had been to her disposal she could have made a better decision.
