The rising trend of teenagers getting involved in criminal activities through becoming affiliated with different gangs is quite disconcerting. Crime analysts and researchers opine that there are many loopholes in society and as a result teenagers are moving away from their local culture. And foreign films and sources of entertainment play a major hand in this shift.
Especially in this postmodern era the sense of developing something new has pushed the entertainment and media world onto the path of glorifying the anti-social. There are many such examples in front of the public and this is a very strong catalyst which the present day youth are following. As a result, their behavior has been changing and pseudo-heroism develops in them during adolescence.
Children get uncontrolled access
to the internet and its malicious content
In this age of digitalization internet has reached the palms of everyone who can afford it, even parents resolve to hand their children tabloid computers or cell phones under duress by the children or willingly. But in most of the cases it is seen that the children get uncontrolled access to the internet and its malicious content.
The influence of these contents is clearly visible among the youngsters of present times. The gruesome incident of the murder of a teen age boy and the gang of youngsters going by the name Disco Boys is only couple of years old. Yet, still young children are taking part in anti-social activities coming from well rounded families and leading the life which might possibly push them towards a life of criminality in future.
The authorities concerned should start a programme where parents will be trained on using parental control on the internet for the safety of their children so that they are not exposed to the malicious content on the internet. Special workshops on this topic can be a key way to get the adults mind concentrated on this so that they will know how to effectively and safely hand over technology to their children.
