While it is crucial that any sort of crime should be detected earliest and necessary actions must be taken, it is also imperative to identify why do criminal activities happen, especially among young people and try to come up with probable solutions.
Unlawful activities take place across the globe varying in severity. Countries where law and order is given utmost importance, there the crime is more or less controlled. This can be observed in countries that are developed. Contrary to that, under-developed and developing countries face significant issues related to criminal activities. What remains the underlying issue is the young generation seems to be involved the highest in such activities.
In under-developed and developing countries, poverty associated with lack of education and career opportunities, political instability, poor law and order, compromised public policies and healthcare facilities, food shortages due to unfavourable climate conditions play pivotal role in breeding crimes in a society. Apart from these domestic issues smuggling of drugs and other harmful substances can severely hamper the youth. Such substances can make them completely unproductive potentially increasing unemployment in the region. Strict laws must be put in action to mitigate such activities.
Providing a long term solution remains in the hands of the government. Centre and state authorities should collectively make efforts to tackle criminal activities. Students should be taught about ethics and moral standards early on. In this case, the education system holds a significant importance of instilling these essential qualities in children. Lastly, the society should not rely entirely on external authorities to handle challenging situations rather each individual should make an effort of bringing awareness in the society.
