According to the latest data, there is an upward tendency of violent crimes among young adults under 18. Some psychologists believe that the main reason for these crimes is due to a lack of emotional and social knowledge that should be learned from families and schools. However, there are other phenomena that cause crimes in society, such as the impacts of social media, violent games, and TV.
Firstly, it can not be denied that parents and teachers play vital roles in raising children. Some believe that parents do not pay enough attention to their children’s care and control their behaviors, and it is not preferred to teach students moral values in schools. As a result of this lack of care, youngsters’ psychological health is damaged, and to be the center of attention, they start to commit some types of crimes. For example, nowadays the number of crimes as the use and sale of drugs or hitting and killing are increasing gradually in schools and universities.
Furthermore, there are other factors that can influence youngsters’ mental circumstances as social media and games. There are many negative trends, including violence toward others, abuse, or robbery, that are represented on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. For instance, some criminal groups attract teenagers to make sexual content, such as videos, by encouraging them with money or fake feelings of love. The other reason is violent games is drastically increasing. In these games, youngsters use guns and kill their enemies. However, this is not real; these games affect them subconsciously. For example, it is observed that after playing these games, children start to hurt their friends.
In conclusion, I strongly feel that the factors that have crucial impacts on the number of crimes are complex. Families and schools should work together on these cases to decrease crimes.
