参考答案：由于城市地区人口过剩和就业机会缺乏，犯罪率已成为他们面临的一大难题。其中，少年犯罪问 题日益严峻。同时，传统家庭结构的缺失以及亲属纽带关系的淡化导致了在城市中成长的儿童 道德意识退化。这些孩子在贫困中长大，常常把犯罪视作一种便捷的出路。这些城市中的问题 绝对不是通过任何短期努力可以处理的。我们只能希望控制它们，并尝试确保在已有的问题中 不会出现更多新问题。

解析：
Owing to the overpopulation in urban areas and the lack of employment opportunity, the crime rate is also a huge problem they are faced with. The problem of delinquency is increasingly more serious in this area Also the lack of the traditional family structure and weakened bonds of kinship lower the moral of the children growing up in the urban areas. These children grow up in poverty and usually look at crime as a quick and easy way out. The problems in urban areas are far more than can be handled in any short term efforts. We can only hope to contain them, and attempt to make sure that no more problems arise from the already existing ones.
