as a result

of that there is a sudden shot in teenager crime reports. In my opinion, I do not agree to

this

statement completely, A shortfall of harmonious family background and strong legal actions are

This

essay will talk about the possible role of the media and other factors as well.

To begin

or use some other wrong methods.

For instance

- ATM looting and identity theft are suitable for

this

scenario.

Secondly

, there is circulation of some content on social media where they are breaking the rules in the name of adventure which excites the other young minds.

For example

-there was a video on the internet where two boys on motorcycle harassing the policeman. As explained earlier, it might be a lot of fun to those are watching and can provoke them to try

this

crime too.

On the other hand

, those who are raised in an unhealthy family atmosphere or inadequacy of supervision they are more often indulge into unlawful activities.

As a result

without being exposed to media brutality, they don’t dither for lawbreaking. All in all, news coverage, police-based reality programs and social media might directly and indirectly influence the disproportionate treatment of minority youth, but no one can deny the importance of mental conditioning aspects of family while considering the accelerated criminality in the minors.
