Recent decades have witnessed the upwards spectrum in the juvenile delinquency rate, raising many questions of the significance of parental skills. Although parental skills’ positive implications on youth crimes could be pronounced, I believe there are more effective alternative solutions.

On the other hand, it should be acknowledged that parental skills could minimize youth crimes. Specifically, parents with good parental skills would teach their children many moral codes or precepts conforming to the social norms. Therefore, young individuals would distinguish what is right or wrong in the society, acting as a deterrent for breeding future offenders.

On the other hand, I believe that official authorities could undertake more practical initiatives to combat this issue. First, the legislation of the prohibition of programmes with sexual or aggressive contents on both the mainstream and alternative media should be enacted. This is proved that these materials could culminate in some mental impairments in viewers, especially those at the young age, which is connected to their propensity for crime commissions in the future. In addition, governments should incentivise some outsourcing investment activities. This suggests a causal relationship with the construction of many highly-industrial parks with manufacturing factories, offering many employment opportunities with stable salary for young people, minimizing their possibilities to commit crimes to make ends meet.

In conclusion, I partially agree that parental skills mean a decline in the delinquency rate. However, there are many measures of higher efficiency that governments should conduct such as the censorship of X-rated and violent images on media or employment opportunities to eradicate this problem.

The raising number of young criminals has become a significant problem for the society nowadays. Thus, some people think that parental lessons must be delivered to the parents in order to reduce youth crimes. In my opinion, I believe teaching parents how to raise their children is not the only effective method to deal with the problem of young criminals.

On the one hand, it does help to reduce youth crimes when parents have the fundamental skills of parenting. Because human’s behavior mostly develops by imitating the parents at early stage of life, a good set of parenting skills will have huge impact on the children. Thus, with good characters and personalities being built up from childhood, children will have a concept of staying out of troubles when they grow up. Such concept then convinces them to not commit any crimes. As a result, the number of criminals at young ages will be reduced significantly.

On the other hand, there are several other solutions to stop the increasing number of youth criminals. Firstly, pushing more lessons of penalties of illegal crimes to educational system is also an essential way to impinge the youth’s behavior. For instance, when youngsters are aware of harsh punishments given after committing crimes, they will have to think twice before getting into troubles because they now fear of the consequences. Secondly, governments can improve public security system by adding more surveillance cameras and police officers on the street. Such method will greatly reduce the crimes committed not only by the youth but also by older people.

In conclusion, I believe teaching parenting skills is not the best method to reduce youth crimes. Instead, such method needs to combine with a few other ways to effectively tackle the problem.
