犯罪率上升的原因：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 youth crime. For one thing, they are confronted with the exam-oriented education and suffer from the study pressure. Failure at school includes poor academic performance, poor attendance, or more likely, dropping out of school. This is an important factor for predicting future criminal behavior. Leaving school early reduces the chance that juveniles will develop their social skills that are gained 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 for youth and rising unemployment in general. When they enter the society to seek a job, prejudice, misunderstanding and bias are the barriers and may create the alienation.

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 was common in the traditional family structure. This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates.

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

Besides, the juvenile delinquency can be attributed to the rising divorce rate and family violence. Children’s psychology may be distorted and have some mental problem.

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

Other identifiable causes of delinquent acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased availability of drugs and alcohol, and the growing incidence of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act.

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

青少年犯罪的解决方法

join hands in minimizing the rate of crime

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 the rate 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(parenting role)，家长要教孩子(reinforce education of children/respect others，observe the rules and regulations of school)，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(various activities)，培养友谊(build up friendship)，树立自信(confidence)和对未来的憧憬(aspiration for the future)，适当的心理引导proper psychological guidance。

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 youth crime could be attributed to the wide access to the technological products like mobile phones and bloody contents on TV), 因此政府部门应该加强对媒体的监管(the supervision of the 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 between the right and wrong)；同时加强对网络游戏(computer games)和网吧(cyber café)的管理。

对犯罪分子进行教育/社会活动的

合理性

Adopt a more humane attitude to criminals, community work or education and job training , is the proper way to tackle the rise of crime . （更人性化）

As for those people who commit crimes due to the lack of formal education, the deprivation of their freedom is seen as an inhumane decision, because what they really need is education,not punishment.

It ensure social stability from a long-term. A person who lack of survival skills and independence will commit crimes again after imprisonment only for earning a living.
