YOUTH DELINQUENCY
It is one of the oldest complaints
that the young, at
the male young, are prone to crime, disorder and
kind of delinquency, and
some argue that this criminality is
to childish impulsiveness, others claim that it has come
about
of the role
by the young in society. This role has changed from
it was in the past, since the young now tend to form a
apart from the
of society, with spending power far
what was available to earlier generations of youth. On
the
hand, and this is particularly the
in the United States, their prospects
employment are much lower than
of adults
numerous government training schemes, these prospects
have been getting worse, and the trend is
greater youth unemployment. This, combined
the fact that parents are more uncertain and
prepared to exercise authority, has resulted
more crimes than ever
committed by young people.
