It depends on the parents.  If the parents aren't stupid, they will raise good children with a greater chance of not become thugs.  But, if the parents suck and don't show interest in their kids life in a positive and contrastive matter, there's no hope.

YIKES!!  #1:  find the teenager\n               #2: Find out what in the H*** is gong on- do not take any excuses for answers either\n# 3  Turn the gun in to authorities immediately.\n\nI hope this is not really happening.  Hopefully just a hypothetical question.  Because schools barely will tolerate a verbal threat anymore- let alone a gun.

Teens need to learn that there are limits and boundaries to what they can do.  You just talk about them and don´t expect them to accept it on face value. Tell them what will happen if they don´t respect those limits, not in terms of threat but in terms of reasoning with them.  They understand that out there, there are traffic lights, bills to pay and other "real-life" limitations to comply.  Don´t become a police for them.  Teach them that everyone is responsible for order and good keeping of the places they inhabit.

Gun safety courses, and responsible parents. Teaching the public about safe gun use is the only way. \n\nLook, murder is already illegal. You think making guns illegal will help? There are billions of guns in this world. You'll never get rid of them all, and if you could, people would make their own homemade guns. \n\nSimply by education, you can teach people to respect guns, and to defend themselves safely. Theres a saying.. "Society is safer when criminals don't know who is armed"

Some psychology should help.\n\nA good secondary education is necessary (I think).\n\nBut you will get training.\n\nOther than that, just apply. (If you like hearing sex cases / murderers / smackheads / etc confess all their crimes and the reasons behind it).\n\nDoesn't sound like a nice job to me.\n\nMaybe its time to put the kettle on, eh?

First of all, you can make people AWARE. Awareness is your best weapon. I was raped at 4 years of age. I also was made aware of what to do if something like that should happen to me. I screamed, yelled, kicked, bit, etc. Because I did so, the teenager who raped me was caught and prosecuted. Because my parents were aware of what to do in such cases, they got me help right away. Children AND parents need to be taught how to prevent it, and what to do if it happens. I suggest that you also lobby for more strict legislation to deal with sex offenders. Perhaps form a community group at your childrens' school.

Install Vandal-Proof Dome security cameras. These are the same type of security cameras used in jails. The kids can beat it with a bat, shoot a bullet at it, and it will not break. Type in the following Part number into the Yahoo search engine: VDC-D1124VA\n\nThis camera will stand up to any vandalism and will capture any events in day or night, regardless of the lightling conditions and it won't cost you too much money. Once you capture the vandalism, give a copy of the video to the local police department and one to the local newspaper. I guarentee immediate action will be taken by the police and justice will be served.

It all depends on the crime. For the most part i believe if your grown enough to go and do an adult crime then you need to do the adult time. If we continue to let the youth get away with serious crimes then older crimebodies will continue to get our youth in trouble. We must raise our children correctly so they want end up in some prison but there are certain things that is morally wrong no matter if your 15 or 35 and those are the crimes our young "adult" should be charged for.

Prevention is the only way that I see as a real solution. \nIt starts with raising your children to respect others and treat everyone as equal. Equally deserving what life has to offer.\n\nIt has to start with the parents. I am sure there are other ideas but all those are remedial.

I think the number one cause of crime is substance abuse.  Then we can on from there, like sociology, neurology, psychology, trauma, and pure accident.\n\nTake Care

visit local police station, ask for their advise... or visit local library and do some research on local public safety data... hopefully you could do some preliminary on the web too...

Get off their lazy asses and actually go somewhere and do something - forget it.  \n\nNow if we dropped off video games so they could stay high AND continue their education in cop killing, ho beatin, f*ck the man, video games, that's a winner in their minds.\n\nPlus the streets would be a hell of a lot safer.

Talk to your local police about this. Every community has different guidelines and policies.
