Wat het verkeerd geloop?
Hoekom vermoor kinders hul ouers?
Wat veroorsaak dat een kind dit doen en 10 ander nie?
By die lees van hierdie artikel het ek net weer besef, ons MOET ons Christelike waardes baie duidelik aan ons kinders oordra. Daar mag nie ruimte wees vir 'n as of 'n dalk nie. Jesus het self gesê jy is of vir Hom of teen Hom, geen grys gebiede nie.
Die artikel het ek in sy geheel uit die laaste 2012 uitgawe van Creation - die tydskrif uitgegee deur Creation.com - geneem.

Juvenile Crime committed by Amoral
Teenagers
University
of Cambridge researchers questioned teenagers about their attitudes to
lawlessness and asked
what criminal things they had done (cross-checking their
answers with police records(. the research provided important insights into
last year’s UK riots – why some young people went on a lawless rampage while
others did not.
The study
found that teenagers who avoided crime did so not because they feared the
consequences or lacked the chance, but because they saw it as wrong. conversely,
teenagers with little sense of right and wrong were responsible for the vast
majority of juvenile crimes. The lack of a sense of morality was the single
most important factor in teenagers breaking the law.
Professor
Per-Olof Wikström who led the study observed, “The idea that opportunity makes
the thief – that young people will inevitably commit crime in certain environments
– runs counter to our findings.”
Academics around
the world have heralded the research as “groundbreaking” and a “breakthrough”
in understanding teenage crime. One US academic described it as “among the most
significant works in criminology in decades”.
