#countries #crimes #rates #people
Nowadays, the number of
crimes
 among young
people
 is constantly rising which might reflect a negative impact on society. In
this
 essay, I will discuss the causes of
this
 issue and provide some solutions to minimise it.
To begin
 with,
this
 problem can be rooted in major issues of families. To illustrate, a lot of researchers linked
crimes
 to childhood trauma. Children who tend to be violent come from broken homes or have been sexually abused.
Furthermore
, TV and movie directors are picturing criminals as heroes which can drive young
people
 to admire them and try to copy their
crimes
.
In addition
 to that, poverty is a critical cause that would lead
people
 to try earning money in an easy way,
such
 as selling drugs. In spite of
this
, there are some solutions that can be done to minimise crime rates among young
people
. First of all, the limitation of TV and movies violence is a must, since there are a lot of details on how to commit a crime.
Secondly
, a good education on the criminal penalty would help them to decide their choices properly.
Lastly
, encourage them to merge in society by providing them with job opportunities that offer good salaries.
To sum up
,
crimes
 done by young
people
 are increasing gradually because of childhood trauma, poverty and violence in TV/movies. Solutions to
this
 particular problem were suggested,
such
 as education about the consequences of
crimes
 and more job opportunities.

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
