    Juvenile delinquency refers to illegal or antisocial behavior by children and adolescents. It is caused by social, economic, and cultural factors like exposure to violence, poor education, poverty, and lack of opportunities. Preventive policies should focus on providing socioeconomic opportunities, education, employment programs, and support for at-risk youth like those from broken families or who have dropped out of school. Prioritizing family and running information campaigns about the effects of violence can also help prevent juvenile crime by promoting non-violent communication and the importance of family as the primary socialization institution for youth.

    Juvenile Crime

    Juvenile delinquency refers to antisocial or illegal behavior by children or adolescents and is considered a serious
    problem all over the world. It is caused by social, economic and cultural factors. This juvenile criminality is apparent in
    marginal sectors of urban areas where children are exposed to violence in their immediate social environment, either
    as observers or as victims. Because delinquents basic education, if they have any, is poor they have been marginalized
    from society and destitute of any dignity or self esteem. Although most legal systems prescribe specific procedures for
    dealing with young criminals, such as juvenile detention centers and suppression, approaches to prevent youth from
    becoming delinquent should also include measures to instill equality and justice, fight poverty and create an
    atmosphere of hope and peace among youth. These preventive policies should be given priorities over any coercive
    measures.

    Socioeconomic opportunities and administrative services should be provided in rural areas to discourage young people
    from migrating to urban areas. Similarly, youth from poor urban settings should benefit from plans that focus on
    education, employment and access to leisure programs , especially during long school holidays. Young people who drop
    out of school or come from broken families should have access to specific social programs that help them become
    responsible adults.

    Information campaigns should be planned to sensitize youth to be aware of the detrimental effects of violence on the
    family, community and society, to teach them how to communicate without violence. Focus on the importance of
    family should become a priority because it is the primary institution of socialization of youth and continues to play an
    important role in the prevention of juvenile delinquency and underage crime.
