In the United States, crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up. And many criminals are young. Most of them --- 85 percent are boys. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(烈酒) and drugs(毒品). There are many young criminals in prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea that travel could help to solve one of the country’s worst problems--- crime. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road.
