Over the past few decades, people’s attention to the juvenile crime
has increased tremendously. For this matter, lots of people are demanding for
an urgent measure. In this essay, both the causes and some possible measures will
be discussed in detail.
Firstly, in the terms of the
causes of juvenile crimes, the most definitive reason would be the indifference
of the parents. These days, to make their living, lots of families are becoming
as what we call "double income family". Which means, both parents are gone for working until late night and the
majority of children who need care and guidlines are exposed to loneliness at an
early age. They are deprived of love and nurture, and eventually end up craving
for their parents attention desperately. One of the best way to draw somebody’s
attention is to be a troublemaker. They will always be central to the parent’s
attention by making lots of problems and issues, which successfully fulfill the
defiant child’s lonely heart.
On top of this reason,
schools where most of the troublemakers are initially formed don’t rigorously
regulate these groups. Whenever accident breaks out, they are only busy washing
out the evidence and covering up the accident as if it is not the student's fault. Plenty of
schools in the modern city, they have a tendency to exhibit their image as a
prestige school, so they could not only attract many students but also maintain
their highly regarded reputation. This greedy wish would eventually form a
vicious cycle and also lead to a perpetual juvenile crime.
Fortunately, there are some
corresponding solutions to this intractable problem. First of all, as I said
above, child who are deprived of love are twice more as likely to become a
persistent offender as other children raised under the loving and nurturing
parents. That is to say, schools that have obligation to take care of these
children can be a substitute for their parents. After school, rather than letting their
students go back to an empty home without anyone greeting them, they should make
them stick around the school by offering them an additional school prep. This
will not only form a tight bond between friends who are under the same
circumstances as them, and also successfully prevent the potential future crime. Last
but not the least, schools should raise their awareness. They are the one who
have most powerful impact on the students including potential offender. They are
the one who can prevent the trivial mischief leading up to a huge violent
crime. Rather than only trying to maintain their name value, they should focus
more on the inside. Students are the representatives of the school. By
successfully guiding them to walk down to the bright path, they will not only achieve
good reputations that they craved for but also successfully prevent potential
future scientists or heroes becoming violent prisoners.
By all things considered, juvenile crimes these days are indeed
prevalent issues that our modern society confronts which should be
restrained by teachers who can play a role as a second parent. As we all know,
children are the world’s future citizens. For this reason, protecting the
innocence of our young from becoming juvenile prisoners should be our top
priority.
