Do you agree with me that crime is increasing by the day among this generation.

[Nwadiche]

So do will think parents has the major roll to play in up bring of their children? or it is about bad government?

Parents has a lot to play, but do you know that many parents know that their child is into fraudulent things like scam and something criminal? Especially scam? If you do not know, that is just the truth. If the parent are not rich and have suffered a lot in life, especially those mothers, they might even be the one that will help their children in some aspect of the scam businesses that they are into.

I agree with you because even most times you will see a child of about 15 to 20 years old that isn't doing anything tangible job will be driving a costly Benz worth millions of naira and their parents wouldn't question the source of the money used in purchasing such an expensive car. Sometimes most of them even build houses for their parents and this things continue like that. So in essence, some parents are indeed the major causes of the negative energy going on in our society. Perhaps, assuming they were doing what is expected of them as parents or guardians their children wouldn't be doing dirty stuff just to feel among.

I do not think I should blame the government, but they contribute. The reason I will not totally blame them is because in countries that have good government, there is still crime and scam in such country. Also people should not totally depend on the government.

The government also has their own shortcomings and I just don't want to talk about it because theirs is even more annoying. Maybe, if they were doing the needful by making jobs opportunity available, graduate wouldn't be this stranded the way they are. However, i know we don't have to completely wait for the government to do everything for us but they can probably provide a softer ground than this, at least that will be more better than it is.

In this case i think government and parents has to be blamed, but the blame goes mostly to the government. Unlike my own country where the government has failed to provide jobs for their youths, right now most of of youths are into kidnapping, rubbery scam, rituals etc. If the government has provided jobs for  youths there will be no much crime the way it is now.

Why some parents has to blame is that they knew that their children are into crime and fraudulent activities yet they failed to advise them, because they saw it as easier way of making money.

We are living in a country where crime rate is increasing day by day, and insecurity being the order of the day. And while there are many factors that could cause crime commission, they main factor remains bad governance. When leadership of a country is not showing concern about the well being of the citizens, many things will definitely go wrong. In the first instance there is no law, and order. The rate of intake of hard drugs among youths is on the increase, criminality is on the increase, and couple with economic imbalance. If the government is really taken on their responsibilities, they will always checkmate these activities, and make sure they are in other. Many things are involved in making a country a safe place. Leaders cannot be talking about generating revenue all the time leaving other vital issues concerning citizens untouched, such administration will never work well

[yixichloro2xx]

That is just it because if you should watch vividly in this generation you will understand that mostly the parents that didn't fall within the categories of either being rich or not being poor or rich but has the money of training up a child in the way he/her should grow but this days those parents that has not any source of income or means of survival on their own, will be given birth every years, so for that, i will suggest that if government can look into the case of children lottery around the society selling pure water or begging in the street while their mates are in school studying,so if the government can make public to understand that once you give birth child that you can train as expected from you as the parents you will surely go jail for it, and also government should provide a monitorary teams that will help the government of enforcing the law to public.

If we have a working government, all these would've been taken seriously, but the Nigerian government would pay less attention to anything that would help change the country, they even need more people to have criminal mindset so they can easily influence them to carry out their dirty jobs during elections. Parents are responsible for good upbringing of a child so anyone that doesn't have the capacity of training a child properly with good morales shouldn’t give birth to one that would end up being a menace to the society, that's why i support yoir suggestion.

Example is just like the Agberos we have in Lagos. Those guys don't have jobs , instead they will be demanding money from people, stealing and causing havoc after they have taken some heavy drugs. Till now the Lagos State government have no find any suitable solutions to end this Agbero of a thing. Reason is because they are the government political tools, during elections they were the one that are being sent to steal ballot , and more illegal activities.  I do agree that parents are responsible for how a child behave. Some parents don't teach and advise their kids even when they are misbehaving, they usually think if they grow up they will change. That's where their mistakes begin, a child that is stealing or doing wrong things should be punished and advised properly so that they won't go rogue in the future .

Well it's crystal clear that the rate of crime nowadays is something no one will have to explain to another, but to me I don't really know whom to blame either the parents, the government, or the society, when we talk about the government those people has failed the youth totally in so many ways and so many countries, and if we should list it, it will be too numerous to mention, and for the parents I don't hold much charge against them, because most parents didn't raise their child to be that way, most youth now when once they come off age, they believe their parents has no right over them, mostly when they go into school, where no parenting eye will be on them, before they will finish with the academy they've gone wild beyond their parents recognition, and at that point they became confused, and for the society, most youth in this generation are influence with what they saw their mate doing, and they can't help it but to get involved.

This generation is a generation of doom, because they have lost it , no one wants to start small again before growing into big. This generation doesn't take instructions from older ones or take from any motivational speaker of their choice, because they see it as wast of time. Some parents of today, are the ones who gave their children the leverage to do what so ever they like because of money. There is this family in my community who sold basins of garri just to buy bigger phone for there son to scam people online, up till now the boy have not cash out because he doesn't know anything about it, and this might make him look for another alternative, probably visiting a native doctor house for a ritual that will involve human sacrifice which is very wrong to do as a child.

[IjawMan]

Factors that can cause an increasment of crimes in the society
(1)Bad government
(2)Laziness
(3)Given birth to so much children that you can't take proper care ?

There are many factors that can lead to the rise of criminality in the society. I  agree with the first one you outlined but the other two is not agreeable to me.

It is important to reiterate the fact that giving birth to many children is not a criminal offense if only the government had put in place policies or laws that prohibits people from having too many children, then the population would have been controlled.

Another thing is that government's negligence in itself is also a form of bad governance. When the necessary infrastructures that should make the populace productive are not provided by the government, the people will simply become lazy.

And when i come to think of it, i do ask myself where the world is really heading to because with finding, i observed that most children in this recent generation doesn't think of furthering their education into higher institutions after dealing with waec in the secondary school level and why most the children think of earning money in that primary school level, i could remember when i was growing up my father always advise me that, if i want to be useful to myself i get to study hard and go through the necessary schools before thinking of making getting a good job but this generation is ever ready to do anything at any level of them just to succeed with money, please parents should not take work more seriously than care of their children or keeping them in the house of their house help because every children are the leaders of tomorrow.

When the government is involved in corruption in a country, the rules and regulations of the country will not be normal, when there is no fair trial in the country, when the guilty are not properly tried after committing a crime and there is no security for the common people, this only creates chaos in the country. When the government fails to control, various types of crime activities increase in the country, the government of the country is definitely responsible for this.

Parents must be responsible. It is very important for parents to be aware of the way their child has taken and whether he is involved in any bad work. It is not enough to just take care of the parents. If the child is involved in any bad work, then explain it well and then take strict steps so that the same thing does not happen again. It is the responsibility of every parent to take care of that. A lazy head can encourage people to do bad things, so it is wise not to be lazy as much as possible and keep yourself busy with any work.

[SDS11]

Truly, things are really going bad day by day, and it's not new. A lot of things have gone wrong, and the society is dying always.

The factors you mentioned are very responsible for the poor state of the country. Another one to be noted is POOR PARENTING. Many parents have failed to do there work as parents. The right upbringing from the home is just so lacking and children grow up with the wrong mindset and it gradually affects the child's attitude I'm adulthood.

But the truth of the matter is that, we can't blame the government alone, it's a collective effort to make the society better. The government have to sit up, parents have to sit up, individually, everyone has to sit. Even our schools, they have to improve in teaching morals. Our church, they also have to improve in there teachings. To make it better, it's a collective effort.

You’re absolutely right.
Many parents now are too busy chasing money and they leave children for housemaids, phone and streets to train. So many children grow up without proper home training and by the time they become adult, na society go suffer.

Government get their own fault but parents, schools, churches, mosques and even we as individuals get our own role to play . If every family train their children well with good morals, the society will be better.

As you have said, it’s a collective responsibility of every sphere but charity they say begins from home, many people we see today misbehaving are a product of poor parenting, when children are brought up with poor mentality because of the parents lifestyle, we can’t blame them because they got that mentality from what they have always seen their parents do every single day. To me, I will say before a child goes to any religious organization or school or any other place, he will need to be taught well from home and that lesson will go a long way to help him or her make the right decisions where it matters most.

Indeed, poor parenting is one factor that can result in an increase in crime in the society, most especially when those kids are not been trained with the correct values of respect, hardwork and patience. And that been said, what we have today in the country is far beyond what proper parenting could resolve. Because with the fact that the government has neglected the need to employ youths who are qualified for the respective vacant ministries in the country that needs manpower, the more staying idle have made our youth indulge in online crimes they wouldn't have, if only the country was working properly. So in regards to the hardship in the country, the government is to be blamed first, followed by the parents, before the society.

[GoldBitcoin112]

Sure crime is taken the other of the day, we all knows the situation of this country and other countries that we have different people with different characters that's the more reasons why crimes keep on increasing on a daily basis, because of the crimes that keep increasing the government can only reduce it but can't stop it all, even in western countries the government have never eradicate the crime over there talk more of Africa countries, the best should just be done to make sure that crime is reduced atleast , so that many we fined peace anywhere we leave or buy market , let's peace continue to rain in our means than high level of crime.
But in conclusion the government can only reduce crime but can't stopped it.

[Africolo]

True that a bad government can give rise to crime and social vices but it doesn't mean that we should use because the government is bad and begin to commit different crimes. Anybody that wants the government to change their ways will not like to involve themselves in crime scene. The truth is that most parents are really trying to train their children with good moral standards but it's unfortunate that children of now are easily influenced by peer pressure. They want to do what their mates are doing and that is why you see many children getting involved in frauds because they have been brainwashed by their friends that it is the only way to make good amount of money. I can't blame their parents because the society has been corrupted already.

It's quite understandable that people hide under the bad government to commit crimes and blame it on the bad government but in a way the government is not left out and to be blamed for the crime rate in our society because the government has refused to perform their basic needs and primary responsibility which are basic amenities and Job creation. If these things are being provided by the government the crime rate will be minimize and control even if it won't stop permanently as people are bond to commit crime in our contemporary society.

Some parents give birth without having birth control and that's another factor that is affecting us because we give birth without having a proper resources to take care of the children and give them a deserving training and education so they won't engage in crime. Peer groups should be looked out for too and we should know the kinds of friends our children mingle with and caution them.

[Slim Gurlfriend]

Yes, I agree that crime is becoming a serious concern among the younger generation.
Many young people are involved in crimes such as fraud, robbery and drug abuse. Unemployment and poverty can push some people towards criminal activities. Peer pressure can influence young people to make bad decisions.

Social media can sometimes encourage people to engage in illegal activities. Poor parenting and lack of proper guidance can also contribute to crime. The government, parents and schools must work together to educate and guide young people.

Remember: Not every young person is involved in crime. Many are hardworking and responsible citizens. ❤️

[Marykeller]

Parents and the government have a role to play in the country, and it's not only the responsibility of the parents or the government to fix the country, but it's a collective effort from both sides to have a country with less crime.

In a country like Nigeria, the government is the primary cause of the crime rate in the country before the blame will be on the parents. The government should be contributing about 80%; the remaining 20% is from Nigerian parents. If the Nigerian government plays its part to provide jobs, be less corrupt, and safeguard lives and property, the high crime rate across the country will be minimized, and Nigeria will be a better place for all to live without fear of being kidnapped

[Daddypluv]

Yes crime is becoming a major concern in society, especially among young people. Activities such as theft, fraud, kidnapping and cybercrime affect the peace and security of communities. This situation calls for proper education, parental guidance and effective law enforcement

[Silikiem]

It’s not even a thing of debate for one to agree that the rate of crime is of the increase among this generation that call themselves Gen z’s. Parents have a role to play no doubt but their role is being limited as they can’t be with their kids all the time because most of the things they are learning comes from social media and they are being influenced by all those so called social media influencers. Bringing up a child in a way he should grow is one thing, but another thing is for the child to continue growing in that direction without deviating from it while growing into adulthood. Go to our universities today you’ll see lots of young Girls and Boys into one social vices or the other, cultism, prostitution etc. the truth remains that, no matter the amount of good upbringing a parent can give to their child, a Bad child will always grow up to be a bad child. I’ve seen kids without a good or proper upbringing by the parents but they still grow up to become good kids and become useful to themselves.

A society where there is peace and unity, progresses more than the one where there is no peace but with crime, this one thing everybody must know because every society want growth and development but how can we achieve this when the whole place is being polluted with crimes. What we need is sensitization so that people can hold their peace and not indulge in crime or anything related, the truth is that there is no reason or what so ever good enough to indulge in crime, this is what most people don't know.

[POPOLUV]

We should be very much aware that in this festive season that is fast approaching, security should be everyone business because this is the season most times dangerous things due happen in different ways that you will not expect it, so if crime rate is 50%, it will increase up to 100% crime rate, so for us to be all to stay alive to see 2027, we all need to security caution and to be security caution, we need to stay alert and vigilant always. And the bad news i heard this morning was very painful to see those students that passed through pains for 4 to 5 years in school studying, just died because they mixed  a hard drugs that didn't know what drugs will result to, please let us be careful on what we inject inside our stomach in any gathering.

[Apex_1]

What do you expect again to happen when the government has failed nigerians totally, just take a good look at the country everyday things are just getting worst,  just as you said even me no day I will turn on my television to watch Nigeria news that I won't hear one crime or the other that has happen that results to lost of lifes in the country and as the day goes by that is how things are getting harder and harder. Honestly the blame goes to Nigeria government that has failed to provide employment opportunities and skills acquisition training for nigerians, when the citizens in the country has nothing to do after graduating from the university what do you expect them to do when they have no means of getting money to survive in this present hard economy that me and you are experiencing.
The Nigeria government has failed nigerians in all areas in the country that is why you see crime happening on a daily basis nonstop.
