    These robberies committed by young people beg the question- why? Are they without gainful employment and if so why? Poverty breeds crime,as we all know, and because needs are not being met, some are forced to commit crimes. What can be done to assist,not only the youth, but the unemployed in general? What are some possible solutions? We all want to live peacefully, but people are suffering hunger and a lack of basic necessities and perhaps by addressing these issues crime will be reduced. And, for the record, I do not condone crime under any circumstance but I understand.
