How is Drugs Violence Affecting Youth Culture in Brussels?
The rise of drugs violence in Brussels is reshaping youth culture significantly. Young individuals increasingly view crime as a game rather than a serious concern. This alarming shift raises questions about societal values and law enforcement effectiveness. Key factors include:
- A normalization of weapons among youths
- Lack of parental guidance and community support
- The glamorization of gang culture in media
The call for reform is clear. As Mary suggests, allowing drug lords to buy down their sentences could redirect funds into justice initiatives aimed at rehabilitating troubled youth. Will we act before it’s too late?
