Youth Crime

The youth in the society today want to lead affluent live and they all want it for nothing they want to drink, smoke and take drugs. But all this comes at a price they are not cheap items to get a hold of, even though they are readily available to people if you ask around for less than five minutes. So as all of these youths want something for nothing they need to resort to crime to get them money to pay for their needs. These crimes can usually include: theft, petty theft, burglary and shoplifting.

The two article will be criticizing because they are both each others main opposition therefore we cant not just rely on just one of the articles, we will need to take parts from both articles and make our own conclusion. Article one is by conservatives so they are saying that labor is not even trying to tackle youth crime, and not just simple that they are trying but being unsuccessful it uses surveys done in schools where there have been problems with crime. Whereas on the other hand. Article two is a list by labor that shows the main problems that are around youth crime and a few things that they have done to tackle them.

In the conservatives article they say that labor aren’t fighting youth crime like they should be but the labor are saying they are doing something and it is working. The conservatives evidence to show there right about labor are the two surveys they have done ins 192 schools but how do we know it was done fairly, for instance they asked grammar schools and private schools and not just non-selective secondary schools. All of which are in today’s youth. The labor party’s evidence is the fact that they have been in office for over 10years and that show that they must be doing something right, otherwise more people would have voted for conservative and they would no longer be in office. I think that even though labor is fighting youth crime it is still on the increase and that the surveys done we not entirely all correct and conservatives had pushed up a few numbers so as to make it look like labor were doing less than they really were.

There are no bias comments in article two in any way as it is only the labor party’s policies on youth crime and how they tackled them. But in article one there are plenty of comments made by the conservatives against the labor party. One comment is that the youth crime is rising to worrying levels, after repeated labor promises to take on the situation at hand. There is also a lot of hidden bias comments where labor says it’s tackling the problem then the next thing you read will be another statistic about the amount of youths drinking for instance.
