In many countries, a high proportion of criminal acts are committed by teenagers. Why has this happened? What can be done to deal with this?

#countries #proportion #acts #teenagers
In recent days, a survey has found that a large proportion of crime in many countries is committed by young
people
. It is important to understand why
this
 problem occurs and how to fix it. The gap between the rich and the poor in some countries is too large. Some
people
 cannot find ideal jobs to support themselves because they do not have enough money to receive an education. They can only live in slums.
This
 forms a vicious circle. Those
people
 will steal or rob for money. Children from impoverished families have lived in
such
 neighbourhoods with a bad atmosphere since they were young. They are easily influenced and form bad habits, eventually turning to crime.
In addition
, in order to report authenticity, some
media
 today ignore video ratings,
thus
 presenting some violent and bloody images to the audience. The
media
 contents affect teenagers, amplifying their subconscious violent tendencies and potentially leading to criminal behaviour. There are several ways to solve or reduce
this
 problem. First of all, schools and families should pay more attention to

 physical and mental health, provide timely psychological counselling to children, and reduce the impact of negative factors on young
people
. These actions can help to reduce the juvenile crime rate.
Moreover
, the government should focus on improving the education model. Young
people
 can stay in school, avoid going to places that are not suitable for them, and avoid contact with
people
 who have bad behaviour.
This
 can help to reduce the external factors that contribute to juvenile delinquency.
Also
, the government should legislate to review and grade
media
 reports, pay special attention to the content of their reports, and limit young
people
's access to harmful
media
 content.
This
 can help reduce the possibility of juvenile delinquency.
