Why Juvenile Delinquency?

In America, juveniles are treated differently compared to adults. The courts focus is on rehabilation and help rather then punishment. Many are dealt with informally which is from an outside agency. Juvenile delinquency relates to minors who break laws, trauncy and in most cases are unsupervised by an responsible adult. Juvenile delinquency is on the rise across our country. It's becomming a common trend amongst children who come from broken families. Young males make up the bulk of delinquents because they grow up without positive role models and mimic the negative behavior they witness. Recreational activities may be an option but they are too expensive for the less fortunate and they don't cease delinquency but help to alter decision making. In a juvenile spare time, they would rather participate in activities they may hinder their future. This issuse is complex and can be decreased with proper research and intervention. Juveniles commit crimes for a multitude of reasons. For example, some may steal food because they are not receiving nourishing at home, others are deprived of attention, and many are suffering from abuse of home. Whatever the reason is, juvenile delinquency rates are on the rise and not much as been done about it. Finally, I chose this topic because I wanted to examine the crimes committed by minors. These same minors are also our future.
