JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
Juvenile delinquency refers to crimes committed by minors. Most legal systems
address this issue using procedural specialties prosecute when such conduct and
specific coercive repression, such as, for example, juvenile detention centers.

2. Juvenile offenses often receive great attention from the media and politicians. This
is because the level and types of youth crime can be used by analysts and the
media as an indicator of the general state of morality and public order in a country,
and as a result can be a source of moral panic alarm .
Like most types of offenses, crimes committed by juveniles have increased since
the mid-twentieth century. There are many theories about the causes of youth
crimes, regarded as particularly important within criminology. This is because the
number of crimes committed grows enormously between fifteen and twenty-five.
Second, any theory on the causes of crime should be considered juvenile crime, as
adult criminals will probably have made a start in crime when they were young.
Juvenile delinquency as a male phenomenon.
Youth crime committed by men is much higher than the female. [Citation needed]
and other feminist theorists have studied the causes of this phenomenon. One
suggestion is that ideas of masculinity may make young men more likely to commit
crimes.

3. Being tough, have higher capacity, be aggressive, daring and competitive may be
ways in which young people express their masculinity. The expression of these
ideals may make it more likely that young people develop antisocial and criminal
behavior.
Alternatively, something that makes young men act as they do is because of the
social pressure to conform to masculine ideals, young men may be naturally more
aggressive, bold, etc.., There may be biological or psychological factors, the way
the parents treat young men may make them more likely to offend.
According to a study conducted by Dr. Kevin M. criminologist from Florida State
University (USA), adolescent males who possess a certain type of variation in a
specific gene are more likely to meet with other criminals.
