The problem of delinquency is increasingly more serious in this area. Also, the lack of the traditional family structure and weakened bonds of kinship, lower the moral of the children bringing up in the urban areas. These children grow up in poverty and usually look at the crime as a quick and easy way out. The problems of urban areas are far more than can be handled than any short-term efforts. You can only hope to contain them and attempt to make sure that no more problems arise from the already existing ones.
