In many countries, the number of crimes committed by young people has increased rapidly. What do you think are the causes of this problem? How can parents and teachers help to solve it? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Crime
rates among young people are increasing in almost every country. There are many reasons for
this
increase in
crime
and
parents
and schoolteachers can help the
children
who get into
crime
. I will give reasons and solutions for the increase in
crime
in the following paras.
First
of all, in poor countries like India, not every child is attending
school
as
school
is not compulsory.
This
means many
children
are not educated and don’t have good knowledge of what is correct and what is not.
Also
, they may not know that some actions can be punished by law. So they try once and steal,
next
time it becomes easy and they are not as scared to do it again.
Therefore
, not knowing and having no education is a big reason for
children
to start small crimes.
However
, the
parents
are home can give
children
good values and send
children
to
school
and get them a
school
education. The
school
environment is good as
children
learn from moral stories from teachers that honesty is good quality. It is very important for both the
parents
and teachers to teach about problems bad things can bring. If
this
is repeated over and over
then
young
children
will understand that
crime
is not good. So, the solution to stop
children
from doing a
crime
can be controlled. To sum up, the
crime
rate has increased in many countries because
children
don’t get the education to understand right from wrong and
parents
and teachers can help by teaching good values.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
