of the Criminal BehaviorThe juvenile’s substance abuse has been a common phenomenon in
the modern society. It is evident that the high rate of the drug abuse among the adolescents
has been steadily improving. When the youth or young individuals in the community engage
in alcohol and other substance abuse, it is them, their families, and the entire society who
are affected. In some situations, since there is a strong connection between the substance
abuse and delinquency, there is an enhanced burden placed on the juvenile justice system
(Hickert, et al., 2011).It is a naked fact that the continuous substance among the adolescents
is usually accompanied by an array of challenges, such as the academic difficulties, health-
concerned effects, poor peer relationships, mental health issues, as well as the association
with the juvenile justice system. Besides, there are also significant effects for the members
of the family, the society, and the community as a whole.Being in possession and using the
drugs and other substance are illegal for the youth. Since the substance abuse and
delinquency are linked, apprehension, adjudication, and involvement of the juvenile justice
system are the unavoidable consequences for many youths who engage in such behaviors.
Similarly, substance abuse is also connected with violent and income-generating criminal
activities by the adolescents, which enhances society’s level of fear together with the
demand for the services from the juvenile and juvenile justice.The development of this
criminal behavior has been linked with the various individual-level risk factors. The
individual level factors may include age, sex, pregnancy and delivery complications and
substance abuse. Prenatal and perinatal factors have also been the major contributor to the
adolescent substance abuse. This is because the prenatal and perinatal risk factors may
influence the nervous system, thereby developing vulnerabilities in the child that can result
in the abnormal behaviors including the substance abuse.Target Areas to be addressedThe
specific target areas I would like to address the issue of adolescent substance abuse include
the risk and protective factors, which can be found in schools, family, and community
settings. The goal of dealing with these target areas will be to develop new and strengthen
the common protective factors as well as reverse or minimize the risk factors among the
youth in their respective society. Typically, I believe that addressing the risks and protective
factors among the adolescents and the children will be strategic in reducing these
challenges in the community.Descriptions of the Specific Group Affected by the Criminal
ProblemThe specific which I will I focus on are the juveniles who have increasingly been
associated with criminal behaviors and more especially with the drug and substance abuse.
As mentioned earlier, the youths who are using drugs and other substances have high
chances of involving in criminal activities such as drug trafficking, prostitution, youth
homicides among other social and penal evils.Prevention and Intervention StrategiesThe
appropriate prevention and intervention programs should be implemented in the family,
school and the community. In the family, the parents should be taught on the effective
family communication skills, proper discipline styles, firm and consistent rule enforcement
among other approaches to strengthen the protective factors among the adolescents. On the
other hand, the school prevention and intervention programs should focus on the student’s
social, and academic skills such as improving peer relationships, self-control, and drug
refusal skills. However, the community should ensure that the children are taught the
religious, civic, and social importance of substance abuse (Robertson, et al., 2003).The
Effectiveness of the Proposed PreventionNotably, the three areas or levels, including the
school, community and the family, are the key environments in which the youth are mostly
engaged at. Therefore, the prevention strategies should focus on the three levels to ensure
the problem of juvenile substance and abuse is eradicated or reduced.ReferencesRobertson,
E. B., David, S. L., & Rao, S. A. (2003). Preventing drug use among children and adolescents: A
research-based guide for parents, educators, and community leaders. Diane Publishing.

It is evident that the high rate of the drug abuse among the adolescents has been steadily improving. When the youth or young individuals in the community engage in alcohol and other substance abuse, it is them, their families, and the entire society who are affected. In some situations, since there is a strong connection between the substance abuse and delinquency, there is an enhanced burden placed on the juvenile justice system (Hickert, et al., 2011).It is a naked fact that the continuous substance among the adolescents is usually accompanied by an array of challenges, such as the academic difficulties, health- concerned effects, poor peer relationships, mental health issues, as well as the association with the juvenile justice system. Besides, there are also significant effects for the members of the family, the society, and the community as a whole.Being in possession and using the drugs and other substance are illegal for the youth. Since the substance abuse and delinquency are linked, apprehension, adjudication, and involvement of the juvenile justice system are the unavoidable consequences for many youths who engage in such behaviors. Similarly, substance abuse is also connected with violent and income-generating criminal activities by the adolescents, which enhances society’s level of fear together with the demand for the services from the juvenile and juvenile justice.The development of this
  • 2. criminal behavior has been linked with the various individual-level risk factors. The individual level factors may include age, sex, pregnancy and delivery complications and substance abuse. Prenatal and perinatal factors have also been the major contributor to the adolescent substance abuse. This is because the prenatal and perinatal risk factors may influence the nervous system, thereby developing vulnerabilities in the child that can result in the abnormal behaviors including the substance abuse.Target Areas to be addressedThe specific target areas I would like to address the issue of adolescent substance abuse include the risk and protective factors, which can be found in schools, family, and community settings. The goal of dealing with these target areas will be to develop new and strengthen the common protective factors as well as reverse or minimize the risk factors among the youth in their respective society. Typically, I believe that addressing the risks and protective factors among the adolescents and the children will be strategic in reducing these challenges in the community.Descriptions of the Specific Group Affected by the Criminal ProblemThe specific which I will I focus on are the juveniles who have increasingly been associated with criminal behaviors and more especially with the drug and substance abuse. As mentioned earlier, the youths who are using drugs and other substances have high chances of involving in criminal activities such as drug trafficking, prostitution, youth homicides among other social and penal evils.Prevention and Intervention StrategiesThe appropriate prevention and intervention programs should be implemented in the family, school and the community. In the family, the parents should be taught on the effective family communication skills, proper discipline styles, firm and consistent rule enforcement among other approaches to strengthen the protective factors among the adolescents. On the other hand, the school prevention and intervention programs should focus on the student’s social, and academic skills such as improving peer relationships, self-control, and drug refusal skills. However, the community should ensure that the children are taught the religious, civic, and social importance of substance abuse (Robertson, et al., 2003).The Effectiveness of the Proposed PreventionNotably, the three areas or levels, including the school, community and the family, are the key environments in which the youth are mostly engaged at. Therefore, the prevention strategies should focus on the three levels to ensure the problem of juvenile substance and abuse is eradicated or reduced.ReferencesRobertson, E. B., David, S.
