In the
last
 years, the reason for the increase in juvenile crime is often discussed. All different formats of media,
such
 as television, newspaper, and the internet have shown news related to
violence
. Certainly, the media is not the main cause of
violence
. It just tells people what news is relevant at that moment.
However
, mainly in children,
this
 type of news can have any influence on their behaviour if they have
access
 to it. There are contributing factors to why the rate of juvenile crime is increasing due to the
violence
 in the media.
Firstly
, nowadays children have easy
access
 to a variety of contents in the media. Young children are raised playing violent games and with unlimited
access
 to any kind of
content
 on the internet. Recently was developed

research about the relation of violent video games to adolescent aggression. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between exposure to violent video games and adolescent aggression. Based on
this
 research, I can be convinced that exists an influence on the violent
content
 on juvenile behaviour.
However
, imposing strict regulation on
content
 could prevent a lot of these happenings. While movies are rated for the suitability, there is no
such
 provision for games and on internet
access
. In conclusion, I strongly stand by the idea that
violence
 in the media is one of the reasons behind the juvenile crime and the way to prevent it is by ensuring restricted
access
 for kids to these kinds of
content
.
However
, I am convinced that the media is not the main cause of
violence
.
