Any suggestion?

The crime rate among teenagers has increased dramatically in many countries.
Discuss some possible reasons for this increase and suggest solutions.


In the recent years, the total amount of crime between young people has raised surprisingly across the world. From my point of view, there are different aspects, such as environmental, which affect on this issue. So, it is important to establish why this has happened and to look at ways to solve the problem.
To begin, it is noticeable that today’s children have more freedom in their behaviors than before. As a result, they are able to do whatever they want and this is because the lack of a proper supervision by parents. For example, using internet they can easily have access to a wide number of movies regardless to their age-limit. Unfortunately, most of these easy-to-watch movies are based on criminal stories. ‘The Vampire’ movie-types, are good instance of this issue. It is so clear that teenagers will copy this criminal behaviors in their memory. Another reason is the lack of a suitable prohibiting educational program in schools. Sadly it seems the governments are less likely to do any practical steps in this manner.
There are however ways to tackle these problems. Firstly, families can provide alternatives instead of long-term internet surfing or watching criminal Medias. For instance, they can encourage their teenagers to do physical activities, such as sports, climbing, camping and etc. On the other hand, the governments should develop entertainments and sport spaces. Finally, as mentioned before, the most important solution for decreasing this rate is surly the educations. The governments should setup a perfect program for this manner.
Therefore, it is clear that there are various reasons for this raise in crime, but solutions are available. If we begin to tackle the issue now, we may be able to prevent the situation declining future.
