Expert accuses of stress, lack of punishment for the wave of youth criminals in Baltimore

(WBFF) – Baltimore deals with a troubling increase in youth criminal, with young criminals commit the three -year acts that observe only minor consequences.

Dr. Janice Johnson Dias, Associate Professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, said: “The consequences are the last thing that has occurred to you.” This behavior leads to high stress, anxiety and depression in young people and finds that they are looking for attention from the same age instead of taking into account long -term effects.

The residents of West Baltimore were frustrated about the situation.

Marvin Williams, a resident, said: “Look at the parents. I think you have to start with the parents … because where are the parents?” Another resident, Eric Snipe, emphasized the need for accountability and said: “You need an obligation to account.

A recently carried out incident with a stolen Hyundai in East Baltimore led to the arrest of four young people. Our camera took the arrest, and despite the FOX45 messages, the identities protected what is legally promoted – one of the suspects later on social media and seemed to boast of being released from custody and commented: “I'm at home.”

In another breathtaking incident, a student was shot in front of the camera in March and another student was killed in front of the Lansdown High School. Dr. Johnson Dias said: “The idea of ​​punishment is low. They are also young and they think that they can collide back. They are invincible in many ways. So no, the punishment is not in the head.”
