How the family influence juvenile delinquency

• Family structure: Children who grow up in single-parent households or in families with a history of criminal activity are more likely to become delinquent than children who grow up in two-parent households with no history of criminal activity.
• Peer relationships: Children who associate with delinquent peers are more likely to become delinquent themselves. This is because they are exposed to delinquent behavior and attitudes, and they may feel pressure to conform to the group.
• Economic hardship: Children who grow up in poverty or economic hardship are more likely to become delinquent. This is because they may feel hopeless and frustrated, and they may turn to crime as a way to get what they need.

Here is an example from an outside source of when a child was delinquent because of the family's influence:

• In 2019, a 13-year-old boy from Florida was arrested for armed robbery. The boy's parents were both drug addicts, and they had a history of criminal activity. The boy had been exposed to violence and crime since he was a young child, and he had been in and out of foster care. The boy's case is an example of how the family can play a significant role in juvenile delinquency.

It is important to note that not all children who grow up in difficult family circumstances become delinquent. However, the family is a major risk factor for juvenile delinquency, and it is important to address the family's problems in order to prevent delinquency.

The family plays a significant role in juvenile delinquency. Children who grow up in families with high levels of conflict, violence, and neglect are more likely to become delinquent than children who grow up in stable and supportive families.

Here are some of the ways that the family can influence juvenile delinquency:

• Parenting style: Children who are raised with authoritarian or permissive parenting styles are more likely to become delinquent than children who are raised with authoritative parenting styles. Authoritarian parents are overly strict and demanding, while permissive parents are too lenient and do not set clear limits. Authoritative parents, on the other hand, are firm but fair, and they set clear limits and expectations for their children.
