trend become more serious and

indicate some methods of punishing

criminals

. On the one hand , there are various reasons why children tend to approach early.

First,

the most fundamental cause is the decrease in student attendance. In fact , education plays an important role in shaping an individual's personality and school is

also

an environment that teaches teenagers good behaviors and discipline. Second , adolescents are really easily incited and provoked by bad characters on social media.

For example

, in Vietnam , young people tend to imitate the actions of livestream gangsters online.

On the other hand

, there is still a lot of debate about the level of punishment for juvenile

criminals

. In some countries , juvenile

criminals

are usually given relatively light sentences compared to the crimes they commit . Evidence is that reformatories are set up to manage

criminals

who are not old enough to handle violations of law .

regulations. In conclusion, there are many reasons leading to high child crime rates in the world and many punitive measures have been applied. In my opinion, being able to commit a crime should not be a matter of age. The government needs to strictly handle those who seriously violate the law.
