It is considered that the surge in minor’s related

crime

is linked to

violence

in the media. There are certain reasons and possible solutions

of

Suggestion

for

this

negative development

this

essay will discuss. There are mainly tow causes of

this

unwanted development.

To begin

with,

violence

and aggression broadcasted in the media is a primary cause. Adolescents after watching intolerable and violent actions in mass media, imitate in the same way because they get affected from it due to their immature minds. A study from Michigan State University,

for instance

, showed that minors who watch action movies and plays are highly likely to become aggressive and unkind in the real-life.

This

, in turn, makes them to opt for crimes without any fear. Another reason is the peer pressure. Children are highly affected by the

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

and surroundings of their friends. If

the activities

of their friends are unethical or bad, they would

be ultimately inflicted.

For example

would soon start

the same activity owing to the pressure of doing it from them. There are some solutions to mitigate

this

issue.

Firstly

, the government should ban violent and harmful scenes manifestation on the mass media. When the exposure to

violence

and harsh

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

in the media is not shown, children would have no chance of learning

such

unwanted

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

.

This

, in turn, would soften their attitudes toward life and they would not opt for a

crime

in real-life.

Secondly

, parental supervision is

also

a key to diminish juvenile offences. If parents keep an eye on their children, they would be hindered from bad activities and would be involved in positives one’s. Research by the World Human Rights Department, as an illustration, revealed that juvenile

crime

in Malaysia has reduced to 15% from 50% by implementing strict parental supervision laws. In conclusion, the increasing juvenile

crime

is directly related to the

violence

broadcasted on media and children’s peer pressure. Banning aggressive scenes on

media

the media

and parental supervision are two ways to handle

this

issue.
