The only way to solve the increasing crime rate of young offenders is to teach parents better parenting skills. To what extent do you agree?

#crime #rate #offenders #parents #skills
In recent times, there has been an increase in the number of crimes committed by young offenders. While few argue that the main reason is the inefficient parenting skills, others think
that is
 not the only reason. I strongly agree on the latter side of the argument. Parents do play an important role in the development of their children. Studies have proved that kids belonging to a happy family are better off compared to those who grow up in a disturbed house.
Moreover
, kids learn everything from their surroundings and it is important to have a healthy and positive environment.
For instance
, a child who

 will be developing skills much earlier than those from a nuclear family.
Hence

However
, we cannot put all the blame on parents for the bad
