关键点/Key Points 

• In recent years, the number of young offenders has increased, raising widespread public concern. While some argue that equipping parents with effective parenting skills is the best way to tackle this issue, I believe that cooperation between parents and schools is essential to reducing youth crime. (描述现象+总起句）—2层（2句）

近年来，青少年犯罪者的数量有所增加，引起了公众的广泛关注。尽管有人认为，向父母传授有效的育儿技巧是解决这一问题的最佳方式，但我认为，父母与学校之间的合作对于减少青少年犯罪至关重要。

• On the one hand, young people tend to unconsciously imitate their parents’ words and actions. Therefore, parents undeniably play a crucial role in shaping their children’s behaviour and personality through everyday interactions. In other words, adolescents’ attitudes and behavioural patterns are largely influenced by their family environment and upbringing. To be more specific, a report by the Canadian National Crime Prevention Centre revealed that adolescents raised in families lacking clear rules and discipline are four times more likely to engage in criminal activities as adults than those from well-structured families. Therefore, equipping parents with effective parenting skills is essential to reducing youth crime. These skills may include appropriate disciplinary techniques and maintaining a balance between parental supervision and children’s independence.——4层(6句）

一方面，青少年往往会在无意识中模仿父母的言行举止。因此，毋庸置疑，父母通过日常互动，在塑造孩子的行为和性格方面发挥着至关重要的作用。换句话说，青少年的态度和行为模式在很大程度上受到家庭环境和成长过程中所接受的教育的影响。具体而言，加拿大国家犯罪预防中心的一份报告指出，与来自家庭结构健全、管教有方的家庭的孩子相比，在缺乏明确规则和纪律约束的家庭中长大的青少年，成年后从事犯罪活动的可能性高出四倍。因此，向父母传授有效的育儿技巧对于减少青少年犯罪至关重要。这些技巧可以包括采用恰当的管教方法，以及在父母的监督与孩子的独立性之间保持平衡。

• On the other hand, schools and other educational institutions also play a significant role in preventing youth crime. Children spend a considerable amount of time at school, where their behaviour can be negatively influenced by their peers, potentially leading them to engage in misconduct or even criminal activities. Therefore, the role of schools in reducing youth crime should not be overlooked. Given their unique position, educational institutions can support children’s development by providing a nurturing environment and opportunities to develop essential social and emotional skills, which can help them resist negative peer pressure and avoid delinquent behaviour. In addition, school-based prevention programmes are crucial in steering young people away from a life of crime.——3层（5句话）

另一方面，学校及其他教育机构在预防青少年犯罪方面也发挥着重要作用。孩子们在学校度过相当长的时间，而他们的行为可能会受到同龄人的负面影响，进而导致他们做出不当行为，甚至从事违法活动。因此，学校在减少青少年犯罪方面所发挥的作用不容忽视。鉴于自身的独特地位，教育机构可以通过营造一个充满关爱与支持的成长环境，并为孩子们提供培养必要的社交能力和情绪管理能力的机会，来促进他们的全面发展。这些能力有助于青少年抵制同伴的负面影响，避免出现违法或不良行为。此外，学校开展的犯罪预防项目对于引导青少年远离犯罪道路也至关重要。
