How do you deal with juvenile crime?

Answer by  Doomstoned (1454)

Without direct, proactive involvement of the parents, juvenile crime is likely to continue unabated. Therefore, outreach efforts should begin with initiating an open and honest dialog with community parents on the issue. Likewise, juveniles also require compelling alternatives to criminal activity such as recreation, employment, and extracurricular educational opportunities.

A good way of combating juvenile crime is having some sort of recreational activity for the juveniles to participate in. Maybe you could open a youth club and have various activities.

It's necessary to have many visible patrol cars around. Also, police must be strict regarding rules such as truancy and curfew. More available activities also keep kids out of trouble.
