Youth crime in the UK

The types of crime

There are many types of crime such as knife crime, gun crime, burglary, robbery, vandalism, anti-social behaviours, fraud, identity fraud, bogus callers, drugs and crime.
Youth crime in UK


According to Hough and Roberts (2003), the public report shows that there are many misperception about youth crime exist to youth crime in England and Wales .Firstly, most people neglect the real statistics and believe that the number of young offenders has increased since 2001.Moreover, most people also over-estimate the proportion of youth crime and it seems likely that the public knows little about the structure of youth justice in Britain.

In order to reduce the rate of youth crime, it is said that increasing discipline in schools is the most effective way of reducing youth crime according to the public report. However, the discipline in schools is not enough to reduce youth crime, it is better to integrate the efforts of family, society and schools. First of all, parents should give a health environment to their children and become a good supervisor to avoid the committing of crime. Secondly, schools are required to announce the knowledge of laws which relate to the youth crime. Finally, the public should increase their awareness of the youth crime and promote public confidence in youth justice.

Monarchy

I am interested in the Charles prince because he has got two times controversial marriage. Prince Charles is the eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. He was born on 14 November, 1948, known as Prince of Wales. He married Lady Diana Frances Spencer on 29 July, 1981. Their wedding was well-known all over the world and admired because Diana is a nearly perfect woman, at least, for me, she is a fantastic, elegant and intelligent. In particular, she concerned the Social Vulnerable Group and made a large contribution to the charity .Therefore, she is admired by a lot of people and even after her death, the Princess's work lives on in the form of commemorative charities and projects set up to help those in need. In addition, for many girls, their marriage was ‘fairytale’ .However, it is shamed that this ‘fairytale’ marriage was eventually collapse and the Princess was killed in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997.After that, the Prince of Wales married Mrs Camilla Parker Bowles on 9 April 2005 at a civil ceremony at the Guildhall in Windsor, followed by a service of prayer and dedication in St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Although their marriage was also doubt, against and never been understood, it is worth mentioning that the princes is brave because he overcome all of the difficulty and achieve his love with Camilla.

SPORTS

Sport plays an important role in people’s lives in the UK, it is a main form of entertainment for a large number of people, especially for men .Moreover, and there are a number of famous sporting venues in Britain such as football, rugby union, horse-racing, cricket, golf and motor racing.
However, I am particularly interested in rugby which similar to American football in the ball uses (egg-shaped) and its aim (to carry the ball over the opposing team’s line)
Rugby originated from Rugby school in Warwickshire. It is similar to football, but played with an oval ball. In particular, around this time the influence of Dr Thomas Arnold, Rugby's headmaster who made great contribution to the development of the rugby. Rugby was beginning to be felt around all the other boarding school, and his emphasis on sport as part of a balanced education naturally encouraged the general adoption of the Rugby rules across the country, and, ultimately, the worldRules,
In the rugby competition, a player who does not have the ball should not be interfered. Furthermore, There are 2 types of rugby in Britain - Rugby League, which is played nationally between regional teams, and Rugby Union, played between international teams at fierce competitions such as the Six Nations and the Rugby Union World Cup there are fifteen players per team in rugby union and thirteen in rugby league; playing time is eighty minutes. In addition, there are no time-outs and players do not wear body armours, Players can carry the ball and tackle each other. The best rugby teams compete in the Super League final each September.
For many years Rugby was only played by the rich upper classes, but now it is popular all over the country. There are two different types of rugby - Rugby League, played mainly in the north of England, and Rugby Union, played in the rest of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, together with France and Italy, play in an annual tournament called the Six Nations.
Famous players,
Four former England representatives have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame such as Bill Beaumont, Martin Johnson, Jason Leonard, and Wavell Wakefield.
Venue: Britain is home to some of rugby's most famous grounds, including Twickenham in London- the home of Rugby World Cup champions and the Web Ellis Cup. Then there's the spectacular 72,500-seat Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and Murrayfield in Edinburth- the home of Scottish rugby.Achievements
The United Kingdom is to have a golden decade of sport after England won the right to hold the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

In China,it is said table tennies is the nation sports which is placed by two or four people hitting a ball with rackets back and forth to each other on a table. However, table tennies, actually, stem from Britain in 1800S.There are many outstanding and famous table tennies in Chian such as Yaping Deng ,Guoliang Zhang, Yiling Zhang.
