THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THE INCREASING CRIME RATE OF YOUNG OFFENDERS IS TO TEACH PARENTS BETTER PARENTING SKILLS. TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU AGREE?

#crime #rate #offenders #parents #skills
The
rate
 of crimes among
children
 is increasing at a rapid
rate
 today. It is believed that
this
 growing
rate
 of juvenile offenders can only be curtailed by imparting better parenting skills. I disagree with
this
 statement as I believe that many other measures can
also
 be taken for reducing crime in
children
 apart from equipping
parents
 with parental skills.
Parents
 these days often find it challenging to strike a balance between work and family and in
such
 a scenario the
children
 in
such
 families are left with little care.
This
 inadequate care often persuades
children
 to adopt other measures which can help them to seek pleasure and attention leading to the commitment of crimes. In
such
 situations, providing parenting skills is one of the ways to create awareness in
parents
 about the steps that can be taken towards ensuring better attention and care to
children
 which are essential for the healthy
character
 development of a child. Nurture of
children
 in
such
 a manner can not only strengthen the bonding between the
parents
 and
children
,

 but
also
 can help them to ensure good
character
 in
children
 by suppressing criminal tendencies.
However
, there are many other
factors
 responsible to avert the criminal nature of
children
 and one
such
 factor is school. Most often
children
 spend a large share of their time at school and
this
 is
also
 a platform where their
character
 gets easily influenced by external
factors
such
 as their peer groups. It is to be noticed that the bad
character
 of
children
 often takes root from bad friendships.
This
 is the reason why schools today intensively train their teachers to monitor and ensure healthy
character
 formation in pupils apart from delivering quality education. Through conscientious monitoring of pupils in schools, the teachers can scrutinize
children
 with criminal tendencies and provide them with timely counselling sessions to ward off
such
 nature in
children
.
To conclude
, many
factors
 influence
character
 formation in
children
. Though there is a thought that the
rate
 of increasing crime in young
children
 can only be prevented by providing parental training, I believe that it is only one among the numerous
factors
 available for deterring criminal nature and developing a good
character
 in
children
.

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
