splitting a sentence
Hi
This report is written in response to last week's article in the local paper which focuses on the increasing violence among young people as a result of the scarcity of opportunities available for them to occupy their free time.
My problem with this sentence is that it should be broken up into smaller sentences. You agree?
But how? If needed, please rephrase. Thanks

Hi Clive,
Thanks. And the last sentence, well, here goes nothing:
The article focused on the increasing rate of violence among young people, the cause of which they attribute to the lack of ... amenities in the city.
Still wordy
