Modern society is confronting with an ever-increasing crime rate among young people. There appear to be various reasons for such a situation and a number of solutions also appear to be possible, which will be discussed in ensuing paragraphs.
Perhaps the major factor is the government’s failure to generate employment in proportion to students graduating from the university. For example, in India, every year lakhs of students are graduating in various fields and become job-ready. However, very few of them get the job they desired. The majority of them accept the employment for which they are over-eligible and others in the absence of job opportunities turn their ways towards morally unethical work. Another possible cause is the internet meaning that it has increasingly closely connected people through social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. These are constantly flooded with glamorous lifestyle information of celebrities that young generations follow the most. The youngster tries to copy their lifestyle and live like them without considering the financial situations they are in and eventually when they are short of money they start committing indulge in crime.
Turning to possible solutions, the most obvious step for the government would be to increase economic activities by accepting foreign direct investment from a foreign company, meaning that foreign investors invest money in the country to start businesses, which in turn generate enough employment opportunities and take steps to control the population of the country, this would increase employment and consequently reduce crime. The second remedy might be social media censorship, which means the government agency should monitor the content of these sites and also enact a law that restricts the use of media by celebrities to influence young people in the wrong directions.
In summary, the unemployment rate and increasing use of social media appear to be the main cause. Reform in government policy and social media censorship may well lessen the severity of the situation.
