Juvenile Delinquents

In this day and age, the incidence of juvenile offenses has been growing at an alarming rate； and the severity of youth offenses has been staggering to adults.   A recent survey conducted by the Chinese Ministry of Justice revealed that one out of four crimes today was carried out by a minor. Hence , it is imperative that we pinpoint the causes of this disturbing phenomenon.
In the first place, many instances of juvenile delinquency have been attributed to the violent or pornographic content of some TV shows and video games. Now we are confronted with a proliferation of blood and nudity on TV ,the computer and the Internet. As a consequence, many youngsters, especially boys, get addicted to such scenes. Lacking the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong, they develop criminal tendencies.
In the second place, parental neglect and domestic violence play a pivotal role in the increase of youth crimes. Today, there are an ever-growing number of dysfunctional families. Generally, the children raised in such families are far more likely to be afflicted with constant fear. In the end ,they develop a hatred for society and other individuals.
In the third place, the increase of juvenile crime rate is symbiotically connected with the rise of adult crime rate in society. In other words,   the more adult crimes, the higher the probability of youngsters falling prey to adult offenders. To illustrate, many youths are tempted by evil adults into committing crimes , whereas some others who are victims of adult offenses become criminals themselves to get their revenge on society.
In sum, many factors contribute to the surge of juvenile delinquency. It is crucial that we take stringent measures to tackle these problems and ensure that the future of our nations-that is, the youngsters, have a more promising future ahead of them.
