Are crime rates rising because of liberal parenting practices?

Answer 1

The rising crime rate can be attributed to a number of factors, 2 of which are a sense of entitlement, and a disregard for your fellow humans.
The sense of entitlement can come from indulgent parenting, the civil rights movement, wealth, welfare, the media, or anthing else that leads a person to belive they are entitled to something.

Disregard for your fellow human can also come from a variety of factors, chief of which is parenting. If children aren't taught the golden rule, as adults they have difficulty adjusting to a society in which they cannot do whatever they want to regardless of who it harms. This condition can also come from the media, which glorifies both entitlement and disregard for your fellows.

Liberal parenting has a hand in it. The reluctance to disipline children effectively gives them the impression that they can do as they please and suffer no consequence. Even at a young age liberal parenting has an adverse effect on the socialization of the child, which is manifested as misbehavior in public, destructive actions, disobedience, a sense of entitlement, and always has the result of embarrasing the parents in social situations.

Answer 2

I think so. When you take the fear of God out of things what is left to feel morally responsible about? I understand that all people believe in God differently and that some people don't believe in him at all but just look at the differences in crime rates since the crazy hippies started to ruin everything with "free love" and heroin.

Also, I think that as a result there is less respect for elders which also leads to more crime.

Answer 3

I think it could have a little to do with it. When a parent gives a child no bounderies, the child will often go as far as possible. In my opinion, one of the hardest things to do as a parent is to find the right balance of structure and freedom for your children.

Answer 4

It's certainly not helping matters any. I know of far too many parents who think that by virtue of the fact that they live in a nice neighborhood that they don't have to worry about what their kids are doing and with whom. Meanwhile, they themselves are so busy pouring another drinking or popping another pill they're oblivious anyway!

Answer 5

No. I think it's because we make a hundred new laws every fifteen minutes...I can't get out of bed without having broken some sort of law anymore.

There are actually thousands of people in jail because of "thought" crimes...and ole' Judge Wapner taught me that "Words are not deeds!"

Answer 6

Yes...latch key children are crippling the United States.

Answer 7

Children are not being taught that there are consequences to their actions. Also, we live in an instant gratification society, "I want it and I want it now". Kids seem to think that they should get whatever they want, even if they have to take it from someone else, rather than work and save for it. It's all rather sad, isn't it?

Answer 8

No, liberal children aren't angry. It's the conservative children who have been forced to conform to ideas they don't believe in.

Answer 9

crime rates are going down

the liberal's doctrine of abortion is what has caused this
