Youth More Likely to Commit Crime During the Week

A new study in Canada has found that teens are more likely to commit crimes during the day, during and immediately following school hours. It's an unexpected find that contradicts assumptions that teens "act up" more in the evening and on weekends when there isn't much to do.
"Lead researcher Leslie MacRae, of the Canadian Research Institute for Law and the Family, told CTV Calgary that youths were mostly committing crimes between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m...Calgary Community & Neighborhood Services' Chris Branch said Tuesday that the study is a real message to parents and to the community that something needs to be done during those critical hours."
Most of the young people who committed crimes came from troubled homes where there was little or no parental involvement or supervision. Read more at CTV.ca.

The problem is that most parents of strong-willed, out of control teenagers have tried very hard to regain control -- but with little or no success. And
it seems the harder the parent tries, the more the teenager "acts-out."
I often hear the following statement from parents: "I've tried everything with this child -- and nothing works!" But when they do my parent-
program, they soon discover they have not tried everything, rather they have tried some things. Learn more about the parent-program. Guaranteed to work immediately.
