It is often thought that the increase in juvenile crime is a direct influence of the increase in violence in media. To what extent do you agree with the above statement?
The increase reporting about violence via the media has created a perception among society that it has led to a surge in the juvenile
crime
, but Use synonyms
this
is not the only factor that has contributed to it. Linking Words
Therefore
, in my opinion I partly agree with Linking Words
this
statement.
Linking Words
To begin
with the influence of media, they have been broadly reporting news about Linking Words
crime
and the negative aspects of society because of the positive publicity and ratings that they gain. The generation Z and Alpha are bought up in Use synonyms
this
environment, with more access to the digital content about violence. Linking Words
Thus
, creating a psychological motive to engage in violence during their juvenile days because sometimes they believe it is the correct way to live their lives. For an example: - In Sri-Lanka, the media report widely about steeling cash and gold ornaments from the people. Linking Words
This
type of news creates a motive psychologically to engage in crimes from early days itself without knowing the consequence of Linking Words

On the other hand
, the rise in juvenile Linking Words
crime
is Use synonyms
also
attributed to the self-discipline of human beings. A lot of surveys have highlighted that proper knowledge has not been given to the children by their parents about the wrong doings, and the consequences they will be facing if they are caught with a felony. Linking Words
Secondly
, Linking Words
this
rise is largely attributed to the loopholes in the law system itself, because more people have escaped with their offences. For an instance: - In Sri-Lanka, drug trafficking is considered to be a criminal activity with the penalty being capital punishment. Linking Words
However
, since 1976 there has not been any executions taken place. Linking Words
Hence
, a lot of youth has been addicted to drugs over the years in the past. Linking Words
This
is a result of a failure in the law system itself.
In conclusion, Linking Words
crime
is not a result of one act. Use synonyms
Therefore
, it is important to educate the youth about the consequences of wrongdoings, and correct them when they perform a slightest mistake. On the flip side, the law in the country should take its place.Linking Words
