Youth and Crime

The sociological perspective of youth and crime is pretty accurate from my past experiences. I agree that most of the crimes committed are by the youth of the nation because they are rebellious and do not usually see the consequences of their actions. They also most likely not married yet making it easier for them to commit crimes because they "have nothing to loose." There is not much society can do as far as dealing with young criminals because everything that can be done, from lectures to classes featuring anti-crime and anti-drug use, are being done and the outcome is pretty much the same. To change this the government will have to come at it from a different angle such as instead of instilling fear why not give the hard facts and show people exactly what it does instead telling youth DO NOT DO THIS. I mean what is the first thing a kid does when you tell him not to do it, HE DOES IT. Shaming the people that do commit these crimes and do drugs is not the way to go about it because they first do it because they want to find out what is so bad about it then once they are hooked there is no forgiveness making them addicts until someone finally lets them know they will be welcome back into society. The whole system needs to be revamped in order to make it work because the methods they are using now are obviously not working as well as they should be.
