The bestway to reduce youth crime is to educate parents about good parenting skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, it's argued that providing good parental skills for

parents

can be regarded as the best way to deter youth crime. In my opinion, I agree that appropriate parenting means can help to some extent;

however

, there're lots of approaches we can resort to which can

also

contribute to the reduction of juvenile crime. There is no doubt that

parents

play significant roles in their child's lives. As the

first

teachers of their children,

parents

hold the responsibility to let their children clear about what is right and wrong, what is the law's function, and the consequence of one disobeying the law. If

parents

deliberately neglect their responsibility or simply do not know how to teach, their kids will lack basic education regarding moral standards, which may let them end up breaking the laws or carrying out anti-social behaviour in their adolescence.

For instance

, it is sadly common that many serial killers in history were survivors of early childhood trauma of family dysfunction or absent

parents

. It can never be too much to stress that proper parental skills will have a significant influence on a child.

Therefore

, educating

parents

first

should be helpful and necessary in terms of reducing youth crime. Apart from that, there are many direct measures that can be used to prevent juvenile crimes.

Firstly

, teachers and schools

also

play a huge role in children's lives, which means they should make efforts into educating pupils about how to become well-behaved people.

Moreover

, the internet and media can

also

help to promote

this

notion. By praising and encouraging well-behaviour, criticising and exposing illegal activities, the media will become an important resort telling adolescents right from wrong.

Finally

, all adults should keep an eye on those teenagers. An adult should lend a hand to a child who appears to be in distress so that the bad idea can be nipped in the bud. In conclusion, I do believe that a person who receives good parental company in their early childhood will become a law-abiding citizen, so it is necessary to educate

parents

in the

first

place.

Furthermore

, teachers and schools, the media, and even the whole society should take action together to tackle

this

problem.
