Why do young people start committing crimes?

A crime is an action which constitutes an offence to the law. These days


people of all ages tend to violate the constitution no matter the field they work
in. A lot of children are inclined to aim their goals even if they do not follow the
legal way.
First of all, at a young age teenagers may want to impress their friends
and that’s a good reason to predispone the law. At the same time when they're
inexperienced in life, kids can easily be influenced in committing minor crimes.
In the majority of cases the ones that encourage them in ignoring the
consequences are their peers .
Second of all, the absence of opportunities in life may exhort young
people to put their liberty at risk. An effect of not having luck by their sides is
that trivial crimes could take place. For example teenergers in need might rob
tourists or steal things from local shops.
Third of all, the lack of control by parents could be a factor. From a
young age children should be taught the rules and that they must follow the law
at ever cost. My opinion is that the legal tutors should give the kids liberty but
also should help them decide on their own what is beneficial or not for
themselves.
Taking everything into account, I believe that young people should learn
how to avoid disobeying the law from an early age. Even if they’re taught at
home how to behave in a society they can be easily influenced by others to bend
the rules.
