Some youths need money to fulfill their needs.   Although the youth crime rate is getting higher from the reasons mentioned above, there are some possible solutions for this problem. The first solution is to strengthen the relationship between family members. This can be done by guiding and reminding parents that warm family is the key to lower youth crime. The second solution is to educate theyouths about financial management and making financial plan. With this solution, financial problem will be solved permanently.   In conclusion there are ways to tackle such problems. Firstly, one of the ways to combat the problem is to have stricterpunishment. Although, as discussed above, it can be outside factors that lead to crime, it is still important to have severe punishments To deter teenagers from crime.
