It is often thought that the increase in juvenile crime rate can be

Many people believe that the rampant growth of juvenile crime rate can be due to the terrorizing acts presented in the media. I completely agree that this is the main cause and would like to offer some solutions to this. Firstly, youth are exposed to a lot of violence through video gaming platforms. Teenagers play games that include violence, mass shootings, drugs, abduction and many more. Moreover, this will create an impact on their influential minds. For instance, these days social media platforms advertise a series of games that involve abduction of people or killings to rise through the ranks to become a mafia boss. Such advertisements glorify terrorism and organized crime syndicates. Secondly, parents are unable to provide attention to their children or control what they do in their leisure time. Owing to their busy schedules, the guardians barely get any time to spend time with their loved ones, so often children resort to electronic games and internet to have fun. For example, most children whose parents are highly skilled professional such as doctors, barely gets any time to know their child. They are extremely busy and often leave their child alone with websites and gadgets which could include extremely dangerous sources of malpractice and crime. As they are unsupervised this opens doors to negativity and danger. Last but not least, I would like to state a few solutions to this prevailing issue. Parents should be in control of their child’s access to computers. This can be used to supervise their computers, to control what they are being exposed to. In addition to this, spreading awareness in schools can be helpful to counteract the influence of negative media advertisements. Schools can not only be a platform where youngsters can discuss their daily activities but also a place to learn what to do in a time where they are exposed to violence in the media. In conclusion, children should be supervised when spending time on any form of media. Crime has increased with the access to different forms of technology. However, we can reduce its unnecessary impacts if we try to take some measures against the wealth of the nation being corrupted.
