THE IMPORTANCE OF THE YOUNG GENERATION IN OVERCOMING THE DANGERS OF YOUTH DETERMINATION

Abstract

The problem of juvenile delinquency is a problem that is of concern to everyone everywhere, both in an advanced society and in an underdeveloped society. Because someone's moral mischief results in disturbing the peace of those around them. Lately there have been many cases of juvenile delinquency which often disturb the community, among others; fighting, deprivation, hijacking of public transport, sexual harassment or in other forms that we often encounter. This study aims to address the importance of the younger generation in overcoming the dangers of juvenile delinquency. The research was conducted by means of literature study. Research results show that adolescents are often more open to input and influence from their peers. If the younger generation can present positive behavior models and influence their peers to stay away from juvenile delinquency, then the impact can be very strong and effective. The younger generation tends to be more skilled in using technology and social media. They can utilize these platforms to disseminate information about the dangers of juvenile delinquency, the associated risks, and the negative consequences that may be encountered. In this way, they can help raise awareness and educate their peers about the importance of staying away from negative behavior.
