In recent years, there has been a considerable rise in crimes committed by young people in cities. What has caused this? What solutions can you suggest?

These days, there has been a flood of crimes involving in many adolescents across the world. The main reason for

this

may be that young people are more frequently exposed to violence, sex, and drugs, and

punishment

for them is too soft. In my opinion, effective solutions to

this

problem would be to reduce

such

exposures and to make the

punishment

stricter. It seems that there are several contributing factors to juvenile crimes.

First

and foremost, the frequent exposures to criminal matters and acts via television, games, and the internet can drive them to behave violently in a real world. They are sometimes immature and inconsiderate resulting in committing crimes. Another cause may be a lack of effective

punishment

. Light

punishment

cannot function as a deterrent. Even if their crimes are vicious, punishments for them, at least in Japan, are much lighter than those of adults. In order to mitigate the issue of juvenile crimes, several remedies can be considered. As for the issue of the daily exposures, a stricter parental control and discipline can seemingly work out. Especially when children are small, they are easily influenced by external

should be required. In regard to insufficient

, I believe, heavier

is necessary at least in serious scenarios. The

punishment

should not be about only education and rehabilitation but

also

deterrence to

crimes. In conclusion, an increasing number of crimes are attributed to everyday exposures to criminal matters and insufficient

punishment

so as to prevent
