Can you help fight crime?

Everyone who lives in Moorston knows that crime is rising 0 quickly (QUICK) in the area. People
have reported more 1 (BURGLE) in the last year than ever before and there has also
been an increase in fights using knives. So, the police have had an interesting idea. They would
like to bring crime 2 (PRO FESSIO N ) and students together to talk about the problem.
In particular, they want stu d e n ts'3 (ADVISE) about how to stop young people from
becoming 4 (CRIM E). The 5 (SAFE) of the Moorston people is the most
important thing for the police. Crim e 6 (PREVENT) is a big priority for them. So, if
anyone would like to give a 7 (HELP) hand and come to the series o f 8
