Abstract:
The youth constitute a vibrant and enthusiastic force within society, playing a pivotal role in
contributing innovative and creative ideas to foster economic development. While many young
individuals strive to cultivate positive values and ethics, a significant portion has unfortunately
engaged in unlawful activities. This can be attributed to the transitional phase between childhood and
adulthood, where immature thoughts and a lack of full comprehension of the law contribute to lawbreaking behaviors. In Vietnam, the youth comprise over 20% of the population and youth-related
crimes have been on the rise annually. Alarmingly, offenders are getting younger, and the severity of
crimes is escalating. Hence, it becomes crucial to identify the root causes of these law violations and
devise targeted solutions to ensure the youth fully understand and refrain from breaking the law.
Equally important is facilitating their smooth reintegration into society after facing punishment for
their mistakes. A swift and effective process in this regard can aid in the prompt return of young
individuals to normal life, reduce social ills, and positively contribute to the country's economic
growth. |
