Juvenile delinquency

Over the recent years, the number of crimes committed by young people has dramatically grown. Although some citizens may claim that our area still remains a safe one, I personally believe that there are two main social issues that need to be addressed.
One of the biggest problems is vandalism. This may be because there is a high density of population, especially in shantytowns, and when people live too close together they can become angry and frustrated. As a consequence, young people may take this aggression out of vandalism. I would suggest that this problem could be solved through video surveillance. Cameras should be set up in affected areas, enabling the vandals to be identified.
Another serious issue is the quickness at which proliferation of crime among young people is spreading. Even schoolchildren are being lured into crime by older children. However, a great deal of crime is actually caused out of boredom. As there is little for young people to do in the evenings around here, I´d propose that money be set aside to provide leisure activities for teenagers .
In contrast, there are some people who claim that the problem of juvenile delinquency does not exist in our region. They point out that our area is not as affected by crime carried out by youngsters as others . In addition, they state that the percentage of idle teenagers does not surpass the 5 % and that the local government is keeping the situation under control.
Even though some may think that vandals are not prominent in our area, I believe that more and more youngsters are nowadays turning into crime. I am convinced that if the measures I proposed here or any other effective ones were to be implemented, there would be a noticeable reduction in crime across the whole community.
