The Rise of the Lost Boys: Why Young Men Are Becoming More Violent

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of real criminal cases, including details that may be disturbing to some listeners.


This week’s Side Bar dives into the 'Lost Boys'


ABOUT :

In recent years, experts have started warning about a troubling new trend often called the rise of the “lost boys” — a growing wave of younger and younger males becoming involved in violent crimes, especially gun-related homicides. While overall crime has dropped in many places, the rate of adolescent violence has surged, with some cities reporting dramatic spikes in teenage offenders. Researchers link this shift to a mix of pandemic-era trauma, lack of support systems, easy access to weapons, and a deep sense of social disconnection. It’s sparking a national conversation about how we’re failing young men, what’s fueling this crisis, and what it will take to keep the next generation from getting lost.
