It is often thought that the increase in juvenile crime can be attributed to violence in the media. Do you agree that this is the main cause of juvenile crime? What solutions can you offer to deal with this solution?
It is believed that unlawful acts that are being displayed in the media are the major cause of the increase in
children
's delinquency. I totally disagree because wrong parenting is the number one cause, however
, age limit to violence-display information and strict parenting could help in curbing this
act.
To begin
with, children
are engaged in illegal activities because of a lack of good parenting. This
is because most of the parents
are working class which makes them create little or no time for their offspring in order to correct them when they are doing negative things. For example
, according to a study carried out in Nigeria in 2010 on crimes among teenagers, it was revealed that children
of working-class parents
had a higher rate of illegal activities than children
of their parents
have their time. Thus
, the incorrect way of teaching youngsters among full-time parents
that are working is the main problem causing juvenile crime.
Nevertheless
, there are possible measures to mitigate these challenges. Firstly
, there should be limitations on access to some sites for children
. What this
means is that an age limit should be implemented which will restrict adolescents' access to most of these dangerous pages. Another solution is that strict parenting should be practised among guidance. This
causes fear among offspring and enables them not to misbehave in society. Taking a soldier man as an example, a military man does not tolerate nonsense which makes their children
behave in a sinless way in the community. Hence
, creating fear in a child always deters him from carrying out any form of illegal activities.
In conclusion, there are increased rates of teenagers committing misconduct acts which many people believed is a result of information they got online. I disagree because the fault is on parents
and there should be a limit for children
on pages that display violence, also
, parents
should be strict in mentoring their offspring.Submitted by adedayoadesewa1 on
