Although risk factors at all levels of social and personal life contribute to youth violence, young people in all nations who experience change in societal-level factors—such as economic inequalities, rapid social change, and the availability of firearms, alcohol, and drugs—seem the most likely to get involved in violence. Can anything be done to help alleviate these social problems?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Can anything be done to help alleviate these social problems?

Yes, I think different things can be done to try to help young people to have a decent life, instead of forcing them to become criminals.

Crime rates have increased in some parts of the country and this is no good. In other countries, particularly in developing countries, the numbers have increased more due to the political and economic circumstances of each country.

The government can create some social programs that allow young people to drop vices such as alcohol or dr*ugs, and try to get them back to normal social activities.

There have been presidential initiatives, such as the case of the Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, that has successfully created a series of programs to install young people back to private companies to get decent jobs in exchange for economic retribution.

The government can also create legislation to control the sale of guns, or stronger penalties for crimes.

There are also social groups or non-governmental groups that have offered some help through rehabilitation clinics, training, community work, and other activities, trying to offer young people a series of skills so they can start a better life.
