How has violence increased in America?

Examples can be used in one of the following methods:
a) One extended example, explained further through various
specific details (as in the various ways that poverty can
lead to crime); or
b) A series of examples (as in various factors that drive crime, like
gun laws, poverty, stress in the environment, etc.)
2) Essay must follow a logical order (emphatic order would be best,
where you leave the most important point for last)
3) Include a one-sentence thesis at the end of your introduction
which addresses the topic and main point you will be addressing
in your essay. (Example: A volatile economic environment can
lead to crime in many ways).
4) Use appropriate transitional words, like also, another, one, secondly,
in addition, finally, etc.
