More prevention is needed
For criminologist Jean-Claude Bernheim, this situation shows that preventive actions must still be taken to prevent other young people from committing crimes.
It’s not often that a 15 year old commits such a crime, but it happens occasionallyhe explains.
If we want to have a preventive approach in relation to traditional crime, the political authorities must intervene at the level of the social and economic condition of the people.
Young people will be inclined to act outside the norm because they can do nothing, because social activities are too limited and their families are busy surviving in the environment because social and economic resources are limited.
According to Mr. Bernheim, if measures and resources are available, young people will be with their peers having fun instead of having unusual ideas.
In addition, he suggests that the justice system with its repressive measures promotes uncertain outcomes in the social reintegration of juvenile criminals, who continues to stimulate the criminal justice system.
