early ages. There are a lot of factors that
affect committing crime in these ages. There

21. Steps For the Solution
Data Collection
Literature Review
Survey

22. Literature Review
Articles that are reviewed;
 Child Delinquency by J. Robert
Flores, from Office of Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention, 2003
 Juvenile Delinquency by World Youth
Report , 2003
 Eğitimime Yeni Bakışlar (The New
Glances to My Education) by Abdullah
SÜRÜCÜ and Coşkun ARSLAN, 2003

23. Literature Review
 Child Delinquency by J. Robert Flores
The number of child delinquents handled
in the nation’s juvenile courts has
increased 33 percent over the last decade.
This development is cause for concern not
only because offense patterns reflect more
serious crimes among these youngsters,
but also because these very young
offenders are more likely to continue their
involvement in crime.

24. Literature Review
 Recent high-profile media
cases of violence committed by
children age 12 or younger also
have drawn attention to the
potential for child delinquents
to inflict deadly harm. For these
reasons alone, child delinquents
represent a significant concern
for both society and the
juvenile justice system.
• Child delinquents are two to three times more likely to
become serious, violent, and chronic offenders than
adolescents whose delinquent behavior begins in their teens.

25. Literature Review
 Juvenile Delinquency by World Youth
Report
The problem of juvenile delinquency is becoming
more complicated and universal, and crime
prevention programs are either unequipped to deal
with the present realities or do not exist. Many
developing countries have done little or nothing to
deal with these problems, and international
programs are obviously insufficient. Developed
countries are engaged in activities aimed at juvenile
crime prevention, but the overall effect of these
programs is rather weak because the mechanisms in
place are often inadequate to address the existing
situation.

26. Literature Review
On the whole, current
efforts to fight juvenile
delinquency are
characterized by the lack of
systematic action and the
absence of task-oriented and
effective social work with
both offenders and victims,
whether real or potential.
Analysis is further
complicated by a lack of
international comparative
data.

27. Literature Review
 Eğitimime Yeni Bakışlar (The
New Glances to My Education)
by Abdullah SÜRÜCÜ and
Coşkun ARSLAN
 In parallel with the development and
industrialisation, crime rates have been
increasing in urban setting and a great
number of these offenders is consisted of
children and youths. For example only
between 1960-1970, in attack and
violence by 159%, in property stealing by
75% increase has been observed in US.
Besides, it has been stated that almost 2
million youths are attempting to escape
from their homes per year

28. SOCIAL FACTORS

29.  Parental issues/ Family Environment
 Peer and Community / Antisocial Behavior or
Exclusion
 Role Modeling

30. 1- PARENTAL ISSUES
 No parents / Divorced parents
 Parenting styles (Authoritarian or
negligent parents)
 Violence in the family sphere

31. BAUMRIND’S PARENTING
STYLES
 Authoritarian
 Authoritative
 Indulgent
 Neglectful

32.  Authoritarian Parenting
Children are expected to follow the strict rules established by the
parents. Failure to follow such rules usually results in punishment.
Authoritarian parents fail to explain the reasoning behind these
rules. Children who experience this kind of harsh parental practice
have increased rates of conduct problems, substance abuse,
depression and violent crime in early adulthood.

33.  Authoritative Parenting
They establish rules and guidelines that their children are
expected to follow. However, this parenting style is much
more democratic. Authoritative parents are responsive to
their children and willing to listen to questions. When children
fail to meet the expectations, these parents are more
nurturing and forgiving rather than punishing.

34.  Indulgent (Permissive) Parenting
They have very few demands to make of their children.
These parents rarely discipline their children because they
have relatively low expectations of maturity and self-
control. Permissive parents are generally nurturing and
communicative with their children, often taking on the status
of a friend more than that of a parent.

35.  Neglectful Parenting
There are few demands, low responsiveness and little
communication. While these parents fulfill the child's basic
needs, they are generally detached from their child's life. In
extreme cases, these parents may even reject or neglect the
needs of their children.

36. Domestıc Vıolence
Violence in the family environment is a crucial problem
because it has huge impacts on the child. Children who have
witnessed abuse often suffer low self-esteem, depression,
stress disorders, poor impulse control and feelings of
powerlessness. They are at high risk for alcohol and drug
use, sexual acting out, running away, suicide and crime
tendency.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHHdovKHDNU

37. PEER AND
COMMUNITY
A child’s friends have a big part in their lives and they affect his
decisions and behavior. Many studies have shown that peer
groups play an important part in the development of deviancy
and violence. Alcohol and drugs are associated with crime
because they increase an individual’s tendency. They are
mostly initiated in a child by peers or community. Therefore it is
important to check who your child becomes friends with.

38. ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR OR
EXCLUSION
Peer and community also primarily appear to affect antisocial
behavior. If the child is antisocial or excluded by his peer group,
this may lead to stress, anxiety or depression and maybe even
worse psychological disturbances. This also increares the risk of
becoming involved in a crime. In extreme cases, along with other
factors, the child may even become a murderer. Therefore, it is
important that the child has a social life.

39. ROLE Model
Role modeling is a significant process in a child’s life. All
children have a role model at some point in their lives. The
point is that who they see as their model. It is substantial to
let the child make the right choices. This has a big impact on
the future behavior and decisions of the child.

49. FOR A BETTER FUTURE

50. According to United Nations Guidelines
for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency
(The Riyadh Guidelines):
«The prevention of juvenile delinquency is an essential part of crime
prevention in society. By engaging in lawful, socially useful activities
and adopting a humanistic orientation towards society and outlook on
life, young persons can develop non-criminogenic attitudes.»

51. for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquenc
The successful prevention of
juvenile delinquency requires
efforts on the part of the
entire society to ensure the
harmonious development of
adolescents, with respect for
and promotion of their
personality from early
childhood.
PERSONALITY

52. for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquen
It is important to emphasize
the socialization function of
the family and extended family.
it is also equally important to
recognize the future role,
responsibilities, participation
and partnership of young
persons in society.
FAMILY

53. for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquenc
Educational systems
should extend particular
care and attention to
young persons who are at
social risk. Specialized
prevention programs and
educational materials,
curricula, approaches and
tools should be developed
and fully utilized.
EDUCATION

54. for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquenc
Community-based services and
programs which respond to the
special needs, problems, interests
and concerns of young persons
and which offer appropriate
counselling and guidance to
young persons and their families
should be developed, or
strengthened where they exist.
COMMUNITY

55. for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquen
The mass media generally, and the
television and film media in particular,
should be encouraged to minimize the
level of pornography, drugs and violence
portrayed and to display violence and
exploitation disfavourably, as well as to
avoid demeaning and degrading
presentations, especially of children,
women and interpersonal relations, and
to promote egalitarian principles and
roles.

56. for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquen
Legislation preventing the
victimization, abuse,
exploitation and the use for
criminal activities of children
and young persons should be
enacted and enforced.
LEGISLATION & JUVENILE JUSTICE ADMINISTRATION

57. for the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquen
The exchange of information, experience and expertise gained through
projects, programs, practices and initiatives relating to youth crime,
delinquency prevention and juvenile justice should be intensified at the
national, regional and international levels.

58. SOME PROJECTS
Governorship of Manisa
has prepared and
applied a project called
“Umutlar Çiçek Açsın” to
combat with the violence,
drug use and juvenile
delinquency in 2012.

59. SOME PROJECTS
Crime Prevention Platform was
established after the Crime Prevention
Symposium held in 2011. This online
platform aims to gather all works,
researches and projects of academicians,
bar associations, civil society
organizations, police officers and
municipalities on the issues of juvenile
delinquency.

60. SOME ORGANIZATIONS
Some Organizations in Turkey: ÇOVAK, ÇOCUKDER, UMUT
ÇOCUKLARI DERNEGI
There are lots of organizations in the world…

61. OUR SUGGESTIONS
- All of the violent TV shows should
- be removed because they make
- children more inclined to commit crime.
- Families and preschool educational institutions
should be checked frequently so that children at
risk can be identified earlier.
- Conflict resolution class should be added to
elementary education as an
optional/complementary class.

62. AND…
CHILDREN SEE, CHILDREN DO
