Why are teenagers Committing so Much Crime?

[BmoreGorilla]

It's hard to get a job when you got a record. I live in a city with lots of homeless people and I see oldheads who are still banging. Most of them couldnt find a job after leaving the pen. Just think about it, most of the low skilled work is now done by undocumented workers. Same goes for truck driving as well.

Oh yea all this definitely plays a part

You're right but they were asleep at the wheel. The time period from 2007 to 2012 was arguably the most important time period in the last 60 years of black America. All tthe bullshyt you see today from these alt right CACs to SCOTUS being so far right, was all set up during that time period.
1) Black Gen X let citizens united pass
2) black wealth was decimated forever under gen X (and boomers). Gentrification started because CACs were able to buy these properties for the cheap right after the crash.
3) Black Gen X and boomers were PRO IMMIGRATION. nikkas literally advocated for latinos 24/7. Now gen X will grow up as 4th class citizens as these latinos turn right wing. GOOD JOB.
4) Black gen X let mexiCACs set up fentanyl hubs in black neighborhoods. Most sanctuary cities jsut happend to be in black areas?

I wouldn’t necessarily say Gen X was asleep at the wheel. Gen X got so many people who got locked up or died

Yeah facts teens in the 80s and 90s was living like adults smoking cigarettes and weed and selling dope..when I was a teen in early 2000s we was still watching Cartoon Network..some was outside but most ain’t jump off the porch my generation until 10th grade

Them older dudes were wild but as kids we didn't always see it..
When such behaviors cross over into the next generation it has become a vicious cycle, a way of life..basically it has become culture now for some. And breaking out of generational traps is hard.

You sound like you have a YouTube channel that specializes in disinformation.

Your entire narrative in this post is baseless, laughable even.

his first point set the tone where it's like oh ok this man on some straight up nonsense right out of the gate. "1) Black Gen X let citizens united pass"

try to process that short sentence. black people alone can't let anything politically happen in this country and there was no "passing" involved in citizen united (citizen united v. FEC) because it was a supreme court decision.

When crime pertaining to that demographic was at historical lows pre pandemic, did that mean that Gen X/Millenials were doing a great job parenting?

Post the stats. I'm still trying to see a breakdown by age of crime levels then (70's/80's/90's) compared to now.

So you don’t believe crime across the board( I shouldn’t have to say that explicitly) were at historical lows pre pandemic? Also, why are you going back 50 years? If you’re data mining just say that

I believe crime was down pre-pandemic but I was just using your post as a pivot to something I was genuinely curious about which is crime among age groups.

I suggest you talk to some teachers about the dramatic increase in at-school violence they've seen the last two years, which obviously has nothing to do with firearm access.







Great insights breh. I'm sure your deep knowledge of sociology has led to these expert judgments.

Let's see what actual sociologists, police officers, and people who work with delinquent youth across the world have to say:

I guess all of them are out of touch too?

They are and I’ve already given the reasons why we are seeing an INCREASE in crime.

 

[CrimsonTider]

That's cap because youth violence has been increasing globally despite every country having its own sentencing rules, few of which have changed at all in the last 5 years. And numerous studies have shown that kids who commit serious violent crime act impulsively, not rationally - they either don't expect to get caught, or purposely push the consequences of getting caught out of their minds.

So people commit crimes shouldn’t be seperated from society? Because they didn’t make a plan before the crime was committed

My experience interacting with you is that have the reading comprehension, intellectual curiosity, and moral consistency of a dog flea. Above quote a case in point on all three scales. So until you establish for me that you've improved in at least one of those areas, I don't see any benefit to continuing the conversation.

I'd rather communicate with someone who had done the work to get informed in the subject, or at least desired to, or at least has some sort of shared moral understanding with me. Not someone who is just going to blatantly misread what I said to create a strawman and will then continue responding disingenuously from there.
