"Mr President, juvenile delinquency is a mass phenomenon and is, unfortunately, on the increase. This begs the question: why? Where did we go wrong? What methods and models should we adopt in the fight against juvenile crime?
Some call for us to totally abandon restrictive methods and to focus on preventative action and on fostering social solidarity. Others call for the role of the family and of schools to be strengthened. There are also a number of extreme voices calling for young criminals to be placed in isolation.
Unfortunately, popular analyses and concepts often do not include the main reasons for a flawed upbringing. These include globalisation, which worsens the economic situation of families, as well as mass, labour-related migration and the breakdown of family ties and contact between children and parents, which is vital to the children’s upbringing.
Secondly, young people are corrupted by the widespread availability of unethical and immoral material, which promotes aggression and violence. There is less cooperation between parents, socio-educational organisations and schools. There has been a break with cultural traditions and a weakening of the role played by the Church in educating young people. No positive, alternative solutions have been suggested.
It seems that the hearts and minds of rich, powerful people have been deafened by the rustle of banknotes. Money is now more important than humanity. It has crushed humanism and faith in the common good."@en1
