The Role of Society for a Child in Avoiding a Criminal Future
Any violation of the law is the responsibility of every citizen, and any reason they violate does not justify them from acting. For this reason, a child who grows up in a dysfunctional environment should be punished for any misconduct. However, if such a youngster is not supported at home, he must be supported by someone from government agencies or society. In turn, the child’s guardians should be punished and charged by the community before reaching the age of majority. After eighteen years, a person becomes wiser, and the transition age ends. An adult is already obliged to educate himself, despite the environment in which he lived and what criminal past he has. Society has a psychological role for the victim primarily. Also, the community serves as an example that a young one will imitate as an adult. Even though the child saw only a bad attitude in childhood, he will begin to understand that humanity is different as an adult. First of all, there should be no pressure from society on the child. If dysfunctional parents brought up a kid, his environment was offended and humiliated. The rest of the community has no right to treat and aggravate his upset mental state similarly. Otherwise, such a child will see himself as an enemy to everyone in the future and try to act unfairly toward others. In this case, society should treat the youngster so that they do not feel superfluous. General public can only do this by initially treating the children with respect and making it clear to them that he is part of this society and his opinion matters to everyone. Thus, victims of a bad environment from childhood in the future will not become offenders.
