Superior Buddhist monk Thich Bao Nghiem, Hanoi’s NA deputy, cited the case of teenage killer Le Van Luyen to prove that juvenile delinquency is quite alarming and has become a social phenomenon.

The senior monk said that this situation must be analyzed to seek solutions. The reason that makes juvenile delinquency on the rise is that teenage-related cases are not judged strictly.

Another reason, according to the monk, is education of living skills at school and at home is under attention. Many people give their whole mind to earn money, not educating their children.

Deputy Nguyen Tien Sinh from Hoa Binh province said that the average age of criminals is reducing, even for murdering crime. This is an alarming issue.

Deputy Dang Thi Hoang Yen from Long An province complained that schools are only interested in transferring knowledge to students, not teaching them how to be good men.

Deputy Vo Thi Hong Thoai from Bac Lieu province worried that part of youth is corruption and this would be a threat in the future.

Deputy Nguyen Thi Kha from Tra Vinh and Nguyen Thanh Hung from Dogn Thap proposed to enhance penalties on juvenile criminals who commit serious offences.

Many deputies expressed their worry about social disorder, which is shown through people’s nonchalance to others, the bankruptcy of a lot of black credit funds and swindling cases.

Deputy Truong Minh Hoang from Ca Mau said many people bypass crime, being afraid of revenge. Hoang called for arousing the sense of community and society to fight crime.

Deputy Nguyen Tien Sinh from Hoa Binh province noted that up to 95 percent of murder cases were sourced from daily conflicts. “The solution is raising social morals, not only expecting on the law,” Sinh added.

About the recent bankruptcy of black credit funds, deputy Dang Thi Hoang Yen from Long An said that this is the consequence of the credit tightening policy.
