Explanation:

In a community where there is a lot of crime, fear will be created which will affect interpersonal interactions among the community members. The more the people in the community hear about crime, the more the fear.

The prosperity of the community will decline when crime becomes rampant. Members of the community will prefer to migrate from such community which will in turn depreciate government revenue through tax.

Crimes destroy life and property. Robbery and theft can result to lost of lives and property. Properties like community infrastructure, buildings etc.

Crimes reduce tourism and trade. Trade and tourism cannot be promoted in a community with rampant crimes.

Social life of the members in the community will decrease as a result of less interpersonal interactions/communication within the members of the community.
