It is often thought that the increase in juvenile crime can be attributed to violence in the media.
What do you think is the reason for the growth in the rate of juvenile crime?
What solutions can you offer to deal with this situation
It is considered by some that the high rate of juvenile delinquency is linked to the aggression displayed by the media. In my opinion, violence portrayed by the media does play a key role in the escalating rate of crimes committed by youth; however, I also believe that video game violence contributes to this issue. There are a number of solutions which should be implemented to deal with juvenile crime.
Young adults are highly influenced by the media; since the media often shows that heroes are violent and are rewarded for their behaviour, they become role models for youth. In other words, young adults try to imitate the behavior they see believing it makes them "cool" to carry weapons and resolve their issues through aggression. Additionally, children who watch television become desensitised to violence and they come to see it as a way of life. Hence, vulnerable youth who have been victimized maybe tempted to commit crimes as means of resolving problems.
The impact of violent video games on adolescents is another important reason ascribing to the increase of juvenile delinquency. The atrocities and brutalities exhibited by many video games have destructive influences on the behavior of teenagers making them more hostile. To illustrate, studies have shown that some video games can alter the brain chemistry and have an effect on the development of children causing them to become addicted to the game and developing aggressive behavior. Thus, when these youth go out in the real-world, some attempt to re-enact those games without thinking of the consequences.
There are a few effective solutions to the crimes committed by juveniles. Parents should supervise their children and monitor their actions. Adolescents should not be excessively exposed to violence. Mentoring and educating young adults about the consequences of their actions is also crucial. Another effective solution is to provide counselling and therapy for troubled children and teenagers who have had problems in the past and have a hard time dealing with them. All of the above points should be implemented to successfully decrease juvenile crime.
In conclusion, supervising, guiding and providing help for youth who are exposed to too much violence is vital to decrease the crime rate and for their overall well-being.

It is irrefutable that the…
It is irrefutable that the young generation these days are more inclined towards criminal activities. There are various factors which are encouraging criminal intentions among youngsters. This essay, however, delves into this issue in details and also suggest the ways, how authorities should handle these teenage offenders.
To begin with, people, nowadays, are leading a competitive and hectic modern life, which is one of the factors influencing criminality among children. For example, both the parents are engaged in jobs and working hard to meet both the hands, as such, kids are left unattended. It is evident fact that without any vigilant eye these young minds go astray. Therefore, some reasonable solution must be found out by the society to address these grave concerns which are looming large over humanity world over.
To prolong, it is a stark reality that even mass media is also promulgated negative impact on teenagers. To cite an example, TV channels for increasing the number of viewerships propagate antisocial elements as the hero of society. This type of negative influences prompts wrong belief among young adults and they tread on the path of the lawbreaker. It is an accredited fact that authorities must closely scrutinise the programs broadcasted by different TV channels. So that factors enhance villain feelings among juvenile can dwindle. Adding to this, the state should not treat these criminals as par to hardened criminals. Although it is evident fact that they have committed an offence, as they are future of a nation, they must be handled in such a way to mould them into noble citizens.
After evaluating the various aspects of the subject matter in a question leads to the contention that in the present paradigm shift the children are left uncared, which let them give enough space to go astray. In spite of this state can implement various provisions to curb this antisocial feeling among youngsters.
