Delinquency in our country has increased in recent years.
Many people attribute this fact to the lack of protection and security provided
to victims. The high homicide rates accompanied by high levels of incidence of
other violent crimes (domestic violence, theft, extortion, etc.), affect the
daily life and quality of life of people, and it has a negative impact on human
development and the consolidation of democratic governance in the country.
The growth of illicit groups is one of the most worrisome
issues, and it has been causing greater fear in the population. Some people
have changed their address due to death threats they have received from gangs.
Others have given up their jobs for the same reason. Security in the country
has weakened proportionally to the growth of gangs.
Many sociologists and experts in the matter assure that
everything is part of an organized political network that seeks the control of
the population through the fear. However, no one has been able to prove it, but
the truth is that delinquency has affected many Salvadoran families. Further,
children and young people have been the most affected by this situation. Heads
of state have tried many ways to fight violence in our country. Some have
obtained better results than others, but none has managed to eliminate this
problem completely.
Not everything is the responsibility of
governments, we as citizens can also help to establish the society.
Discrimination, marginalization, and lack of support from family members has
caused that many young people leave their schools to join the gangs. Therefore,
it is the duty of parents to ensure that their children, nephews, and close
friends have a good mental and emotional health that allows them to enjoy their
adolescence away from the problems.
To effectively face the delinquency, we must form
responsible parents, we must also build a new society that edifies better
families, and through them to citizens whose principle is the permanent
practice of moral values, love of neighbor, and the vocation of good in order
to achieve faith, temperance, and solidity that we need in order to solve the
evils that overwhelm us and stagnant us as a society.
In conclusion, we can say that delinquency in El Salvador is
an issue that affects us all equally, and it is everyone's duty to contribute
in order to improving our reality. There have been many victims of violence and
too many injured. To have a better country, we must be united and be
supportive. We have already faced more difficult situations in the past and for
this reason we must believe that we are able to achieve it once again.
