Young women crime has become more  and more prevalent in recent years. Causes, effects and solutions?

According to recent statistics, the number of female offender now is increasing at alarming rate. Since this puzzling issue poses a risk to the whole society, its root causes as well as effects need to be interpreted and possible solutions should be offered.

First and foremost, this phenomenon derives from anomie. That is to say, in today’s world, traditional moral standards which exert on female are lifted gradually in the name of gender equality, so girls enjoy a chance of self-expression. However, ironically, many of them are willing to shatter their girl next door image and pursue a cool image instead by rebellious act. Their doomsday scenarios end up with participating in criminal gangs to earn respect and street credibility, and then they, in all probability, are lured to perpetrate delinquencies namely drug trafficking, crime of passion, or even murder.

Young women crime wave would take its toll on the society as a whole and their next generation in particular. In other words, like any type of crime, female offenders not only put society security on jeopardy but also pave the way for a waste of social source. Moreover, it is a controversial question about what we can expect from mothers who involved antisocial behaviors in the way they nurture their children. For example, aggressive mothers having violent abuse history are very likely to exhale their anger and frustration on their children by aggravated assault. This, in its turn, may breed a generation of sociopaths who would embark on criminal path too.

What can redeem this worrying problem may lie in joint effort of families, schools, and the Government. To be specific, imposing strict supervision and instilling self-confidence and an interest in social environment from supportive and loving parents could diminish the probability of criminal involvement.  In addition, rising education budgets at all levels and tightening discipline in school also conduce to the lowering crime rate.

To sum up, there is the number of explanations and consequences related to this thorny issue. If these above mentioned measures are properly adopted, they are bound to be of desired effect.
