Progressive Era Reform

There are many problems in the U.S. that are in need of a reform. One of those issues is violence. Violence has been rapidly increasing over the years and getting worse and worse. The murder rate has gone up in the past year, especially in Boston, which needs to be stopped. Violence is not a way to solve problems, it only makes things worse. If people would mind their own business and not worry about other people then I think the violence could go down, also bringing down the homicide rate. Little children are even getting involved in these actions, which is not right. Something has to be done about this. Violence is just one of the many problems here in the U.S.
