Migrant life may lead to youth crime

The structure of migrant families is more likely to cause juvenile crimes, an education report said.

"There were important links between family factors and juvenile crime. Bad family structure, an improper method of family education, and a poor family economic and cultural environment were the key factors causing delinquent minors," said the report, released by the 21st Century Education Research Institute on Monday.
