Youth delinquency is on the rise and obviously many of our young man and woman are getting hurt in the process. The seeds of crime begins in the areas where there is a lack of good social programs for the community. There is where prevention starts.

Once the actual crime takes place then we will be looking for a good Justice Department which would include a good and reliable police force.

After this process and whenever there is detention one need a good detention program which need to be concentrated on the rehabilation of the person.

These are the steps for a good policy on crime. A social program, an effective and efficient Justice Department and a good detention and rehabilitation program.

The integration between the rehabilitation, education and the business community is a must. Obviously this kind of management and integration requires a person which has an understanding for the suffering of mankind and the desire to help unconditionally. It requires also that the community and government at large participate in the program as it is not one issue that solves the problem. We will achieve only when we work together hand in hand.

At this moment in time all the aforementioned pillars are weak or not in place. This means that there instability in the place and I do hope that those in powers start to work on fixing the problem.
