　　◎ 怎样尽量避免青少年犯罪

　　为了降低犯罪(crack down youth crime)，在解决减少犯罪方面共同努力(join hands in minimizing therate of crime)：

　　教育起着不和或缺的作用(Education has an indispensable role to play)，对于家庭教育(parentingrole)，家长要教孩子(respect others，observe the rules and regulations ofschool)，给孩子树立正确的人生观和世界观(world outlook and a set of decent values)。

　　学校应该丰富学生们的生活(enrich students’ life)，开设各种各样的活动(variousactivities)，培养友谊(build up friendship)，树立自信(confidence)和对未来的憧憬(aspiration for thefuture)。

　　一个重要的原因可以被归结为新的科技媒介上的信息泛滥(one the of most contributing factors of youthcrime could be attributed to the wide access to the technological products likemobile phones and bloody contents on TV), 因此政府部门应该加强对媒体的监管(the supervision ofthe media)，媒体上的犯罪细节应该加以控制，因为年轻人的世界观和价值观在形成的过程中，有时缺乏辨别是非的能力(distinguish betweenthe right and wrong);同时加强对网络游戏(computer games)和网吧(cyber café)的管理。

　　Reasons for the rising rate of juvenile delinquency

　　1学校的压力 Failure in school:

　　The mounting pressure from school and society gives rise to the youthcrime. For one thing, they are confronted with the exam-oriented education andsuffer from the study pressure. Failure at school includes poor academicperformance, poor attendance, or more likely, dropping out of school. This is animportant factor for predicting future criminal behavior. Leaving school earlyreduces the chance that juveniles will develop their social skills that aregained in school, such as learning to meet deadlines, following instructions,and being able to deal constructively with their peers.

　　2. 社会影响 Social Factors

　　Changes in the social structure may indirectly affect juvenile crime rates.For example, changes in the economy that lead to fewer job opportunities foryouth and rising unemployment in general. When they enter the society to seek ajob, prejudice, misunderstanding and bias are the barriers and may create thealienation.

　　3. 家庭影响Lack of Parental Supervision

　　Families have also experienced changes with the last 25 years. More

　　families consist of one-parent households or two working parents;consequently, children are likely to have less supervision at home that wascommon in the traditional family structure. This lack of parental supervision isthought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates.

　　Families are important to consider when trying to explain juveniledelinquency. The family unit is crucial to a child’s development and healthyupbringing, in addition, much of what a child learns is through their family orguardians. A criminal parent can teach their child adverse lessons about lifewhen their child views or witnesses their parents’ delinquent behavior.

　　Besides, the juvenile delinquency can be attributed to the rising divorcerate and family violence. Children’s psychology may be distorted and have somemental problem.

　　4. 其他因素Other Factors: drug, child abuse, crime details on media, peerpressure

　　Other identifiable causes of delinquent acts include frustration or failurein school, the increased availability of drugs and alcohol, and the growingincidence of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend toincrease the probability of a child committing a criminal act

　　The crime details and violent pictures on the media are vital causes to beconsidered. Another factor to be considered is the peer pressure.
