Is the lack of jobs the reason for the young hoodlums that roam our streets and cause trouble?
Yes they are a minority of the young, but a very noticeable minority by their very actions. It is unfortunate that all teenagers are tarred with the same brush, but, that minority appears to be moving to a majority as it increases with the end of each school year.
In my day, and admittedly a long time ago, you left school on the Friday and commenced work on the following Monday, you immediately moved to an adult society and learned to live amongst adults, but more than that, at the end of each week you received a wage, you had some money in your pocket.
If every youngster could be found employment immediately upon leaving school, thus a wage, would this make a difference?
