Abstract

Web series, primarily targeting youth, have a significant psycho-social impact on their personal. Factors such as peer pressure, unemployment, low education, financial hardship, strained parent-child relationships, school dropout rates, and financial limitations influence young people's involvement in criminal activities. Media, particularly TV shows and web series, also affect the attitudes and behaviours of young people. Social media sites influence the consumption of online videos and web series by young people. To address this issue, the research suggests enforcing severe legal penalties, considering juvenile offenders as adults, encouraging volunteer work, offering to counsel, involving young people in sports activities, and promoting education. It also examines parental monitoring and restrictions on children's viewing habits and preferences for web series and analyses differences between urban and rural areas. The study also addresses ethical concerns related to the production and consumption of crime reality shows and their potential effects on trust in law enforcement and the justice system. By examining these factors and strategies, the research aims to provide insights and recommendations for policymakers, educators, mental health professionals, and parents to effectively address youth crime, promote positive psychological outcomes, and create a safer environment for young individuals in society
