The second “crimes” is the subject of the sentence, gramatically. “When laws against minor crimes are enforced” is a dependent clause added onto the sentence: “Major crimes decline,” so “crimes” is the subject.

“decrine” is not a word in English. “decline” is what you mean.

“Major crimes” is the subject of the verb “decline.” “When laws against minor crimes are enforced” is an adverbial clause containing a sentence, so you can also say that “laws” is the subject of the verb “are enforced,” The main verb is “decline.”

Restate the sentence as, “Major crimes decline when laws against minor crimes are enforced.” The statement’s truth or falsity is not demonstrated, however.

The subject is crimes. Crimes is the noun, decline is the verb.

Your phraseology is strange as you ask approximately implementing the sentence, extremely than implementing it. A sheriff or warden has no discretion to choose for no count number if to enforce a sentence imposed by using a court docket. in case you have been asking approximately implementing a sentence, i could point out that some courts think of that some crimes, while committed against regulation enforcement, point out a miles better point of dangerousness interior the criminal. this is the point of dangerousness that consequences interior the harsher sentence.

Crime is the subject. Kind of confusing, but trust me, it’s crime.
