Recent years, the number of crimes committed by young people in major cities throughout the world is increasing. Discuss this issue. Give reasons and suggest some solutions.

The news of
crimes
, robberies, murders etc., are very common nowadays in the big cities and has reportedly increased during the past few years.The majority of these
crimes
are committed by youngsters and
this
is an issue of serious concern.In the following paragraphs, I will try to discuss the potential reasons and
also
will give some suggestions to combat
this
problem. The
first
and foremost reason for the
crimes
committed by
youth
is unemployment.
For example
, India is the
second
most populated country in the world and due to overpopulation the job opportunities for young people are very limited and they are tempted to do
crimes
for money.
Furthermore
, In many countries, some addictive
drugs
and weapons are legal and young people do not hesitate to take those
drugs
when they get addicted to those
drugs
they step into the world of
crime
for
drugs
and money.To illustrate, In the United State of America and In Canada,
drugs
like marijuana and weed are legal, and most of the young population take those
drugs
and weapons are legal in the U.S.A which promotes
crime
in
youth
.If these had not been legal in these countries
then
the
crime
rates would not have been
this
high. Now, let's talk about the solutions in order to demolish
this
pressing issue.
Firstly
, there should be a complete ban on
drugs
and weapons in all countries which encourages the
youth
to do
crimes
.
Secondly
, education should be given in the schools to youngsters about the negative effects of
drugs
on their lives and health.
Thirdly
, movies which showcase violence and guns should not be released and should be banned by the censor board. Because these movies have
also
a very bad impact on the youngster's mind and thoughts. To sum up,
this
is true that due to overpopulation, lack of interest in education in the
youth
and due to media the involvement of young people in
crime
has increased.But,
this
can be better stopped or can be decreased by the involvement of parents and the state.
