morality degraded. Moreover, the risk of being incarcerated and socially
discriminated may also lead to their erroneous life and lack of career prospects.

scars for their whole life due to their guilt towards the victims. In terms of social
repercussions, the spiraling frequency of youth crime can take a toll on the safety

instead be dedicated to other purposes, may have to be allocated to property repair
and penitiary.
