is media responsible for increasing crime rate among the youth?

The classic example is that poor Korean guy that went on the rampage. He made a video of himself before going on the shooting spree. Of course there are copycat types who will be influenced.

Look at the youtube videos of the recent shootings and read the comments. Young people become fixated on these events.

And the main stream media loves reporting on these sad events, interviewing the family, victims etc etc.

The media reports on crime of every sort. It may not glorify crime as something to do but it makes one wonder about the effect on the mind of disturbed individuals.

Yes. Think about this, by the time an average western teenager by eighteen years old. has seen over ten thousand, violent actions or murders on TV or in movies. This must have some desensitising effect on the psyche of todays youth. Our most formative ages are filled with explosions and war fare on the box every day.

The only people who are responsible for the increase in youth crime is the youths who are committing the crime. Stop trying to put the blame on anyone else. People are responsible for their own actions...no one else!

Criminals are responsible for the increased crime rate. People tend to look for someone or something other than the person responsible to find a reason for criminal acts. For every person who decides to commit a crime there are thousands who decide not to. It is a behavior flaw. Simple as that.

Yes, the ultimate reason why crime is done by teenagers is because they lack money for their families and to fulfill the need of money, they need to do some kind of terrorist attacks which in turn gives them a enormous amount of money and a lifetime security which is offered by the terrorist group.

France is joining Britain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Canada and New Zealand to block offensive web sites. And New York City is considering it.

Believe it or not:

The crime rate along with rates of injuries, unemployment, death, and a large host of others ALL have one thing in common - The percentage of purity of Methamphetamines sold in this country.

copy cat crimes - yes

making the hoods look like mis-understood juvi's - yes

Still the blame is in the person and the upbringing.

I know a lot of poorer people from bad areas who turned out right and some rich snots who will steal your wallet and most likely stick you to.

No.

Don't think so.

Just blunders and slip-ups with human errors created back in the past with self lack of knowledge without being aware of it being expose in time.
