They need to be educated about contraceptives as well as further studies. 'Incentives' to breed willy nilly while the government pays for your keep & provide accommodation need to be removed.

Ghazala you really got me thinking here. Good points. We tend to see these people on estates or who claim benefits as the "others"i.e. don't really identify with them. But you may be right, we cannot identify with them and so do not understand their problems and the challenges they face.
You are right, our welfare state exacerbates the problem. I am really worried about yob crime though. Even been considering immigrating to Morocco
I wonder if we as individual lobby our MPs to say that we want to see youth crime being tackled, will it make a difference?
