Corruption within the Government
Our society is plagued by violence, and as concerned citizens we must closely analyze the existence of delinquency and prevention of future crimes. “Regarding the causes of delinquency, citizens’ belief often center on biological defects, inadequacies of family life, bad companions, or similar forces thought to be unique to delinquents, In other words, citizens usually attribute juvenile misconduct to a few bad influences- forces from which the public respondent is immune” (Gibbon, Krohn 1995).
Traditional perspectives on causation have usually focused on some image of offenders that portrayed them as pushed or driven toward lawbreaking by a pattern of attitudes or motivation acquired through their particular life experiences. Citizens concerns lie basically on the reasoning behind deviant behavior and the process by which the juvenile is handled within the system. As with all proceeding, flaws do occur and this can contribute to continuous behavioral problems. As this research unfolds, it will illustrate the five main concerns and problems in the juvenile justice system. This paper will help to explain the initial causations of crime, the problems surrounding the judicial detaining of juveniles, the methods of rehabilitation and treatment, the system’s inadequate placement of youths that are mentally ill and lastly, the styles of punishment that the system imposes on the juvenile delinquent. Explaining crime and delinquency is a complex task. A multitude of factors exist that contributes to the understanding of what leads someone to commit delinquent behavior. While biological and physiological factors hold their own merit when explaining crime and delinquency, perhaps social factors can best explain juvenile delinquency. There are many things that can contribute to the causes of deviant acts committed by juveniles. However, little is known about what really causes one to become delinquent, while another in apparently the same circumstances does
