An emerging crime issue in my community is the illegal buying and selling of narcotics. In recent years, the drug trade in my area has increased significantly, and this is becoming a problem for everyone who lives there.
Restraining forces are those that limit or reduce the situation. An example of a restraining force would be the increased security of the area, as the police is gaining presence. On the other hand, a driving force is a  situation that leads to the growth of the problem. An example of this would be the increasing number of people who are addicted to opioids.
