No, I believe that peer pressure does not substantially help fight crime.
First of all, peer pressure exist to everyone in this world who has friends. However, peer pressure are usually highlighted by the past cases in a more negative way. We are all humans and we do make mistakes, most of us are morally imperfect in one way or the other. So, the influence and pressure we exert to our friend might not be positive, in fact, most of the time it is negative.
In the case of this passage, I believe letting youths fight crime is indeed one way to encourage integrity and inculcate better moral values in them. However, there are too many negative impacts to this action. First of all, students are distracted from their utmost important mission: Study. Secondly, youths maybe influenced by additional exposure on the very addictive subjects like games and pornography. How can one influence a huge group of people when they are the minority.
Lastly, it takes a lot of determination and courage for a person to break the law and be a criminal. I believe that just by the mere peer pressure cannot influence or even change their mind, how can they fight crime? Peer pressure is not strong enough as a mean to fight crime.
Therefore, I believe peer pressure can hardly help fight crime.
