Youth Crime


Why does young people commit crimes even when they knew the consequences?


I have been pondering about this question especially since the incident that occurred in Downtown East that led to a death.Firstly we will have to consider the reasons behind why these youth decided to join gangs or commit crimes like stealing,robbing and etc.There is a saying that 'Life is an organic ever changing phenomenon' which means that everyone in this world is subject to encounter the ups and downs of life whether they want it or not.This are a few justifications behind the crime choice:
  • Communication that some feel difficult to get through hence they tend to stick to companion of groups that they feel 'understand' them.
  • Wanting to try something dangerous and thrilling to kill boredom.
  • Due to the influence of friends and not wanting to be deem as timid if never oblige.
  • Wanting to gain parents' attention to know if they are loved by them.
Many people concluded that the primary reason behind youth crime is none other than the lack of attention and love from parents that the youth is looking for. For example the youth may feel that their parents are more concern towards work and money rather than them.In order to either vent their unhappiness or get attention,they turn to crimes.

However if we were to think more deeper,it is not right of us to just put the blame on the parents as the reason behind them working very hard is also for their children.Furthermore not all children whom parents are working turn to crime hence to me it depend on the individual themselves.If they are able to differentiate between right and wrong and not wanting to 'mark' their future with a criminal record then they will know what is best for them.
