Steady in Youth Crimes

Let us take a look at what Singaporean teens think.
Below are the results of a survey on teen crimes done by teens age 12 to 18.

Have you been tempted to commit crimes before?
What kind of attitude do you have towards teens who commit crimes?
Do you think the crime rates in Singapore is high?
How serious do you think is the situation of teen crimes in SIngapore?

Q:What do you think are some of the crimes Singaporean youth commits?
A: Gang Fight, Rape, Murder, Theft, Vandalising & Robbery etc.

Q: What are some of the ways we can prevent teen crimes?
A: Counselling, Campaign, Self-control, Strict Punishment, Parental Guidance.

From the results of the survey, we can see that:

-
Majority has been tempted to commit crimes before.
- Majority feels neutral towards crime-committing teens.
- Majority does not think that the problem of teen crimes is very serious.

We can see that Singapore teens got better things than youth crimes to worry about. Is this really the case? Do we not need to worry about teen crimes or is this an issue that we got to take more notice of?
