Violence with crime and drugs surrounds people and children everyday. If a child grows up surrounded by these types of things or behavior they will learn how to do the same. Over time crime rates will just keep increasing.
Children who have grown up in "Street Families" are known to be more likely to commit a crime. Street Parents are usually single mothers or parents who do not have enough time to monitor what their children do. The parents will usually act out in aggressive ways which rubs off on the child another cause of violence.
Smoking Marijuana has become a "casual drug" amongst teens and adults. The Medical usage of the drug has been abused and now is seen as a "gateway" drug for many individuals leading to many more dangerous drugs.
In todays economy selling drugs has become many peoples source of income. Selling narcotics is a way for people to provide for their family or themselves when there is no other option. It allows them to stay off the streets for the moment but usually results in Incarceration.
Many teens, young adults and primarily black males in America end up in Jail. America is a "zero-tolerance" country so most states tend to react harsh towards a victim who is on trial for drugs. Once released odds are against the offender, jobs become harder to get and the end result is usually ending up back in jail.
