Juvenile delinquency, drug use and abuse
Introduction
Juvenile delinquency refers to the involvement in crime by members of society below the
age of majority. Conventionally, it is the indulgence of adolescents and teenagers in criminal
activities. Participation in the handling, use, and abuse of drugs and alcoholic substances has
