How can you decrease the amount of murders and rapes?
There is very little that the average person can do to decrease the amount of violent crime in a society. Education will help, to teach people that these things are very, very wrong and should never happen. The most people can do on their own is to donate money to organizations that help victims of violent crimes and their families. It will not change that the crime happened, but it will help the victims deal with the crime, and give them support as they move forward.

How do you stop friend being violent?
Your friend will only stop being violent by his own choice (or her own choice as the case may be). If this person admits to having a problem and seeks your help, you can then discuss other ways of dealing with feelings of anger or frustration that do not involve violence. But you cannot force someone to stop being violent. Of course, in some cases you can have them arrested for assault. That might serve as a wake-up call. But even then, most people who are arrested for their acts of violence just continue being violent in jail, and continue to be violent when released from jail. Some people think that violence is too useful to give up.
