Are Our Children the Victims of the Harsh Society?

Apparently children are more at risk when it comes to personal crimes, such as robbery, assault and theft. As a matter of fact 25% of the children has been the victim of crime in the year 2009. These children are aged between 10 and 15 years old. In the year 2009, 2.153.000 crimes of theft and violence took place, the people involved were all children under the age of 16. This is a serious matter, but nonetheless we should keep in mind that the figures may be wrong. It is very likely that the figures overstate the level of crime among children, since many incidents probably will not be classified as a crime by most people.

I think it is a very bad development that children are being bothered that much. They should be able to get a nice childhood without crime, sadly enough this is apparently not possible due to society. I think that the main problem is that people are too used at being exposed to crime and agression. This is partly because of television, but also because the things people see on the street. People should know better than to behave agressive.. but we do not act that way.
