Levels of youth crime are increasing rapidly in most cities around the world. What are the reasons for this, and suggest some solutions

No issue in recent years as much as attention as the debate surrounding the increasing in the level of youth crimes. There are several reasons for

this

problem and various measures can be taken by governments, schools and parents to improve

this

situation. There are some reasons why the rate of

crime

in younger people has been growing. The

first

reason enhances the levels of poverty and lack of education. Indeed, in many cities around the world, poverty, encourages people to turn to

crime

in order to pay bills and meet family responsibilities. Since the people who live in the deprived areas are frequently compelled to work from an early age, are more likely to turn to mass.

Secondly

, young people can easily turn to

crime

owing to the lack of parental guidance. These days more parents in cities both have to work and are often away from home, and in turn they find it difficult to supervise and support their children when needed.

Finally

, another reason for

this

issue is that unemployment can lead people to

crime

due to financial pressure and

also

lack of structure in their daily lives.

However

, there are measures to tackle

such

problems.

First

of all, the governments should increase social benefits to alleviate poverty. Another way to combat the problem is to have stricter punishment to deter teenagers from mass. Governments

also

should enforce strict laws so as to prevent young people from committing a

crime

.

In addition

, youth should be taught by schools and parents to shun criminals and anti-social behaviour. At the end, offering training programs can stimulate employment, bring hope and give structure to people’s lives. In fact, education and employment can act as a deterrent. To sum up, the increasing level of youth crimes will only be solved if the above mentioned measures are implemented.
