Question:
In recent years, there has been a considerable rise in crimes committed by young people in cities.
What has caused this? What solutions can you suggest?
Answer:
There has been dramatically increasing a dramatic increase in the number of youth crimes committed over the past few years. The phenomenon is being worsening and the trend seems to rocket at an alarming pace in an exponential momentum. In my opinion, the fundamental cause ought to be the widespread use of the internet and smartphones.
It is evident that sharing content, even some criminal offenses, on social media is commonplace are a modern trendy act. Due to the easier access to different websites; acting, recording and posting the “bravery activities” are is regarded as a triumph among adolescences. According to some news reports, there were even some young bank robberies who had posted the money they robbed to their Facebook page solely for to show off. Smartphone and web addictions are undoubtedly a catalysts of the trend.
Likewise, the crazy and indecent lifestyles of celebrities are enormously exposed to our teenagers nowadays among these decades. The mindset of teens is not fully developed typically, they can be easily affected by the behaviours of idols, especially the idols they adore and fancy with. For instance, Justin Biebier, the famous pop star was claimed to be drug abuse in abuse drugs on multiple different occasions: at home, at parties and at nightclubs, his younger fans tend to follow and admit on those these inappropriate acts, and finally, mimic their idols behaviour they saw on the internet.
There is a common believe belief that prevention is better than a cure, but the question is, how? I do believe it can be done in two separate ways. First, parents should put more effort and time to guide their children to a right path. More importantly, funding should be granted by the government to hire famous stars to be ambassadors of crime prevention, as the effectiveness of an idol is far more higher than a normal advertisement, and we should promote them to alleviate the worsening youth crime situation.
