I found this article on youth crime good, it is nice when the media try to educate and provide perspective rather than hyping up a story.

In summary
Youth crime has increased recently, but according to the best data we have, the overall trend is still a drop-off since 2014.
It seems silly that police always get blamed when some young sh*t bag does a runner in a car. You always get the parents crying and saying how great their kid was.
Also sad to see cops being prosecuted for putting the boot in. Easy for the bleeding hearts to get all sad or outraged when they are not dealing with these d*ckheads all day.
