    How to use "Crack down" in context?

    When law enforcement agencies say they are going to "crack down" on certain types of crime, this usually means they are going to employ much more harsh tactics, targeted arrests and prosecutions, and a heightened level of vigilance and surveillance in order to rid the area of criminal activity.

    This increased effort has seemingly been successful in reducing crime rates over the years, although critics suggest that it often comes at the expense of personal liberties and civil rights.

    In recent years, especially in large cities, law enforcement agencies have been targeting what they call "gang members" and "drug dealers".
