Passages for ExercisesPassage 1：I'd like to refer to the increasing phenomenon of urban violence as a threat to the existing social order. Urban violence is a multifaceted phenomenon. It includes common crimes against private property, violent crime, abuse of women and children, murder, drug-related offences and the trade in women and children. It also involves uncivil acts such as the careless destruction of public spaces and domestic violence.Urban violence creates a feeling of insecurity among inhabitants. It tears the social fabric of cities, threatening the foundations of democratic institutions. It erodes the social capital of the urban poor and increases the vulnerability of groups already at risk. As urban violence often occurs in a climate of corruption, it often leads to the development of organized crime.我认为日益增多的都市暴力威胁了现有的社会治安。

都市暴力是一种多面现象，既包括抢劫私有财产、暴力犯罪、虐待妇女儿童、谋杀、与毒品有关的犯罪和拐卖妇女儿童等普通犯罪行为，也包括在公开场合实施不经意的损坏行为以及家庭暴力等非民事犯罪行为。

都市暴力给居民带来了不安全感；威胁了民主机构的根基，从而破坏了城市社会结构；也侵蚀了都市贫民的社会资本，加剧了处于危险地群体的无助状况。

由于都市暴力通常是在腐败的社会环境中发生的，因此经常会导致有组织的犯罪。
