问题     Crimes by children have been rising at a faster rate than the juvenile population. About half of such crimes involve the traditional youthful offenses of theft, breaking and entering, and vandalism, but serious, violent crimes are going up at a startling rate. The rate of armed robbery, rape, and murder by juveniles has doubled in a decade. If all the need of the adolescent could be met adequately and without delay, without violating laws, there would be no point in violation, and a minimum of internal, indirect, and direct control would suffice to secure conformity. The objection may be made that many violations are committed for the excitement of the violation itself. However, other possibilities for excitement exist besides violating laws and regulations.
    No complete and generally satisfactory list of needs, either of children or adults, has been compiled. There does seem to be essential consensus on the needs for affection, and security. Although these categories do not exhaust the needs of children, they are, at least, a beginning.
    Only some of the child’s needs, particularly those of the adolescent, can be satisfied within the family. The family does, however, also greatly affect the chances the adolescent will have in satisfying his needs in the school, in his peer group, and later, in his occupation. If he is able to satisfy his needs reasonably well outside the home, in socially approved ways, there is less pressure to achieve them through delinquent behavior.
    As there are limitations upon what can be achieved by indirect and direct control, so also are there limitations as to need satisfactions. Adolescence have wants that must be deferred, at least, such as for foreign spot cars, sexual satisfactions, and adult income and status. Likewise, not everyone can be the captain of the football team, the campus queen or the winner of scholarship honors. At present, there is no way that adolescents can always be made to feel loved and secured and no assurance that there will always be something interesting to do. On the other side of the ledger, there is always some work to be done to obtain, in a legitimate manner, whatever recognition and privileges are possible.
    Even though complete and immediate satisfaction of needs is not ordinarily possible, families can go far toward the legitimate satisfaction of needs within the family, and they can prepare and launch the adolescent in his interaction with school, peer group, and occupation, otherwise they can fail almost totally in helping to meet needs in and outside the family through acceptable behavior. [br] Which of the following should the family do to reduce juvenile delinquency?
选项 A、Exert direct and indirect control over the child within the family.
B、Don’t interfere in children’s behavior in or outside the family
C、Try to help the children meet legitimate needs in and outside the family
D、Try its best to satisfy all of the children’s needs within the family.
答案 C
解析 推理题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，尽管不太可能完全和立即满足青年的需求，家人可以在家庭内更进一步合法地满足其需要，让他们和学校、伙伴和职业进行良性互动，否则家庭几乎完全不可能帮助青少年通过合理行为来满足他们自己的需要。所以，家长应尽量帮助孩子满足其合法需求。故选C。
