Juvenile crime rising in China

Apparently, the number of juvenile criminals in China has doubled over the past decade. According to a state-run newpaper, China Daily, the rise can be blamed on a decline in social values and the breakdown of the family. The paper states that the crimes being committed range from robbery to rape and that 33,000 young people committed crimes in 1998. The rate of the rise projects 80,000 juvenile offenders for this year. I wonder if anyone has any ideas on this? Is this just going to be another reason for the government to tighten its grip? What happens to juvenile offenders (ages 14 to 18) in China?
