Never has the topic of
crime
failed to attract our attention.
However
, when it comes to the approaches to reducing juvenile delinquency, people hold divergent opinions. Some people believe that educating
parents
about good parenting
skills
is the best way to solve
this
thorny issue. Personally, I partly disagree with
this
view as I think it is farfetched to state that it is the best method.
It is hard to deny that equipping
parents
with professional parenting
skills
is useful.
First
of all,
parents
with adequate knowledge about child upbringing will educate their children better. To be more specific, it is not rare to see that the young break the laws due to a lack of ability to distinguish right from evil. Under
such
circumstances,
parents
acquiring parenting
skills
will be able to teach their kids properly and prevent them from imitating misbehaviours, going astray and even becoming jailbirds.
In addition
, educating
parents

the family bonds. Specifically, learning parenting
skills
helps
parents
know how to communicate and interact with their young family members, which improves family relationships. In
this
case, children who grow up in
such
happy families are mentally healthy and less likely to commit a
crime
.
Therefore
, the youth
crime
rate will be declined.
Although
imparting parenting
skills
is beneficial, the lurking threats brought by
such
measures should not be ignored. On top of the list, it aggravates the financial burden on the government. It is undeniable that the local government should assume responsibility for providing parenting courses for the local residents.
As a result
, the authorities have to invest a large amount of money into subsidizing parenting education which means they will cut the budget on other crucial issues
such
as education and medical health.
Besides
, it may impose pressure on
parents
. It is not uncommon to see that nowadays people are confronted with fierce competition in their careers. There is no time for adults to take additional courses due to the overload of their work which means educating
parents
may increase their pressure in daily lives.
As a result
, the public's mental health may be impaired.
To sum up, I maintain that educating
parents
should not be regarded as the best way to lower youth
crime
as it may be counterproductive. Only when we combine
this
way with other measures can we enjoy pleasure rather than pressure.
