Increasing juvenile crime a warning for sustainable social development in vietnam trinh thi kim ngoc

Conclusion
The increasing rate of crime in juvenile 
is an alarm for the sustainable development 
of our society. This is a special social 
problem closely relating to every family, 
school and community. This is not the task 
of the security service or social order 
organizations only. It requires the participation 
of schools and families in managing and 
educating juvenile. In recent years, the State 
have implemented different policies and 
legislations to ensure the children’s holistic 
development. The Government and ministries 
at all levels have carried out many 
programs and applied various measures to 
enhance social security, order and safety, 
preventing and fighting against crimes, 
including juvenile crimes. The purpose is to 
create for children a healthy working life, 
help them to accumulate creative skills, 
open new development opportunities for 
them, because the truth is that no money or 
resources can make the country's future, it 
is the children- the owners who are still 
childish and foolish today.
