My thinking about teen's crime

I read a news that some teenagers who live in my neighborhood commited an outrage on a passerby. I'm afraid and worry about this news. I think teenagers can easily do crime and join gangs.

One reason I believe it is easy for teens to do crime is because adults are not as involved in chilren's lives as they once were. First, most parents are working outside the immediate neighborood where their children go to school. Parents work long hours, commute between home and work, and run the errands needed to keep a house running, spending fewer hours with children than ever before.

Second, because of greater mobility, most children do not have extended family members in their lives, such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, to provide a network of relations to keep an eye on their activities.

If there is good environment, teenagers can be good people. People should do something to solve this problem...
