Hi! How's everything going? You know, your party yesterday was so wonderful, so I won't forget it for a long time. I'd like to thank you for the invitation because it was a great pleasure to visit you.
Here I must say everything you'd prepared was just perfect. I enjoyed your mum's biscuits, they were like food of gods, and the second meal was eaten in few minutes. By the way, do you still have that disc with the songs you played at the party? I will be very happy if you give me it for a while. And when can we meet again? I have some news for you... Call me as fast as possible.
Lots of love,
(your name)
Некоторые теоретики связывают преступность с общим состоянием культуры. Особенно с влиянием экономического кризиса, войн, революций и общего чувства незащищенности, которую эти силы порождают.
Так как общество становится все более нестабильным, а его люди более беспокойными и боятся будущего, то уровень преступности возрастает. Это особенно верно в отношении подростков, а опыт США времен Второй Мировой войны сделало это очевидным.
