Nowadays the crime rate among young people is increasing. Why do you think this is happening? What can be done by parents, teacher & Govt to reduce it?

It is true that the crime rate is skyrocketing these days among youngsters. The reason lies in the fact that

kids

are involved in

activities

that feed violence and aggression. it is only by teamwork between authorities, parents and teachers that we can curb

this

trend. It goes without saying that the new generation of

kids

is constantly exposed to violent video

games

, have unsupervised access to many different online platforms which are mostly advertising sex and illicit drugs.

This

can make them think it is easy to kill and harm each other because they have seen it in the

games

they play. They have

also

seen people using drugs and advertising for it on social media.

For example

, Instagram has no control over members and everyone can open an account and

kids

can easily be targeted by drug dealers, sex traders and other criminals who are there to manipulate them for their own benefits.

Thus

, it is easy for a young brain to easily be brainwashed and get involved in different forms of crime by watching others doing it online. The only way to curb

this

trend, the government needs to have better control of social media, ban those with suspicious

activities

, and penalize criminals. Parents should be more vigilant on their

kids

and monitor their online

activities

.

Besides

they need to minimize their screen time and encourage physical

activities

and sports. They

also

need to buy more brain

games

like Minecraft

instead

of Gun involving

games

.

Moreover

, teachers should teach students about criminal

activities

and how to avoid being involved in one. In conclusion, the power of social media and violent

games

on youngsters mind is undeniable. To tackle

this

problem, parents, teachers and the government should team up and control children's

activities

.
