Explain the relationship between juvenile delinquency rates and
modern social conditions, such as poverty, crowding, and family
dysfunction. How can these relationships be addressed to help
decrease juvenile crime rates?
IN EVERYDAY HUMAN LIFE IS SURROUNDED AND STRUCTURED AROUND THOUSANDS OF DECISIONS WHICH ARE INFLUENCED BY
UNDERLYING SOCIAL CONDITIONS SUCH AS POVERTY, CROWDING, AND FAMILY DYSFUNCTION, THIS IS DONE IN ORDER TO MEET CERTAIN
NEEDS AND CLASS SEEN BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE (ILLOUZ, EVA. 2008).
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT JUVENILE DELINQUENCY, THEN WE SIMPLY MEAN THE COMMITTING OF CRIMINAL OFFENSES BY A VERY YOUNG
PERSON MORE A YOUNG PERSON WHO IS UNDER THE AGE AT WHICH AN ORDINARY PERSON OR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION IS POSSIBLE.
RELATING JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS AND HOW THEY CONTRIBUTE TO THE GROWTH OF CRIMINOLOGY. TACKLING
POVERTY, THEN THE RESEARCHERS CONCLUDED THAT MOSTLY CHILDREN FROM POOR FAMILIES AND WORKING CLASS THEY ARE THE
MOST LIKELY TO ENGAGE THEMSELVES IN DELINQUENT BEHAVIORS WHEREBY THOSE YOUNG ONES TEND TO TRY TO ACQUIRE HAT THEY
SEE WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND BY SO THEN THE END UP IN JUVENILE DELINQUENCY. ALSO, FAMILY DYSFUNCTION IS ANOTHER FACTOR
THAT CONTRIBUTE TO JUVENILE DELINQUENCY, WHERE BY THIS MEANS THAT THE FAMILY IS ALWAYS IN CONFLICTS AND FIGHTS EVEN TO
AN EXTEND THAT THE PARENTS PRACTICE CHILD ABUSE. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT CHILDREN FROM SUCH
FAMILY ARE ALWAYS AGGRESSIVE SINCE THEY TEND TO IMITATE THE BEHAVIOR OF THEIR PARENTS AND THUS THEY EVEN PRACTICE
ABUSING OTHER CHILDREN AND BY SO THEY GROW UP WITH SUCH BEHAVIOR THUS CONTRIBUTING TO JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.
In order to decrease juvenile crime rates associated with those relationships, then there should be
more job creation by the government in order to try and fight poverty and uplift the poor families and
by doing so, then there will be stability in the family and there will be no juvenile crimes, also there
should be a creation of guidance and counselling groups which are specifically for giving guidance
to ore fighting families and how they can affect their child's future. There should be also guidance
programs in schools to try and help the affected children with these sort of social status.
Considering the increasing proportion of juvenile female arrests, discuss whether the
needs of female delinquents can be met by the same programs that serve meals. What
can help in the treatment of juvenile female delinquents?
BASICALLY, ACCORDING TO RESEARCHERS, THEY BELIEVE THAT MOST FEMALES HAVE A LOT OF FEAR
COMPARED TO MALES WHEREBY FEMALES FEAR THAT THEY MAY BE ATTACKED, MOST FEMALE DELINQUENTS
WHO ARE TAKEN TO JUVENILE DETENTIONS, USUALLY HAVE HIGH RATES OF TRAUMA AND ABUSE THAN THE
WAY MALE DO WHEREBY THEY PASS THROUGH EMOTIONAL, PHYSICAL, AND SEXUAL ABUSE AND BY THEM
HAVING DIFFERENT CASES AS FOR THEM BEING IN THE DETENTION THEN THE NEEDS FOR FEMALE
DELINQUENTS CANNOT BE MET BY THE PROGRAMS THAT SERVE MEALS. MOST JUVENILE PROGRAMS
USUALLY DON’T MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THEIR DETENTIONS, INTERVENTIONS, AND PUNITIVE PRACTICES
THAT CAN BE FAVORABLE TO FEMALE’S HISTORY OF ABUSE AND THIS USUALLY RESULTS TO DIFFERENT
REACTION AND NEGATIVE FEELING AND EVEN TO AN EXTENT OF THE GIRLS LOSING CONTROL AND IT MAY
RESULT IN RE-TRAUMATIZATION OR RE-VICTIMIZATION. MAINLY TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE USED IN
EVALUATING JUVENILES UPON ENTRY IN DETENTION FACILITIES ARE PROGRAMMED AND CATEGORIZED FOR
THE PURPOSE OF MALES AND NOT FEMALES AND SO THE GIRLS WITH HISTORIES OF ABUSE OR EVEN OTHER
MENTAL ILLNESS NORMALLY GO UNDIAGONISED AND UNNOTICED AND THEIR BEHAVIORS ARE I...
