This study aimed to investigate the factors of juvenile delinquency in Ajloun, Jordan from the perspective of employees at social institutions. A questionnaire was administered to 100 employees at social institutions to examine family, social, psychological, economic, and physical factors. The results showed that employees believe the family plays an active role in stimulating deviant behaviors in children through parenting styles, lack of supervision, and family conflicts. Social factors like peer relationships and characteristics of social institutions were also seen as potential causes of delinquency. The study recommended activating the role of schools and social workers in collaboration with families to help raise children and address their problems.

This document discusses a study on juvenile delinquency from the perspective of employees at social institutions in Jordanian society. The study aimed to identify factors of juvenile delinquency related to family, psychological, economic, social, and physical issues. A questionnaire was administered to 100 employees at social institutions. The results showed that the family plays an active role in stimulating deviant behavior in children through parenting styles, conflicts, lack of religious faith, and mental illness. Social relations and events within institutions can also cause delinquency. The study recommends activating the role of schools in collaboration with families to raise children and try to solve their problems with social specialists.
Indsicipline among the youth, ways to curb it effect and causes.Emmanuel Hanson
Indiscipline among youth is a major problem with many causes and negative effects. Some key causes include lack of parental guidance, societal influences like corruption, bad peer groups, influence of mass media, and urban issues like drug use. Effects of youth indiscipline include lack of respect for authority, increased juvenile delinquency and criminal behavior, dropping out of school, teenage pregnancy, and children engaging in harmful income-generating activities. Solutions proposed include improving parenting techniques, emphasizing discipline and moral education in schools, community campaigns involving police and religious leaders, and providing guidance to at-risk youth.
Delinquent children act out against society due to unmet needs and a lack of proper guidance and support systems. Juvenile delinquency refers to criminal acts committed by those under 18. Factors that can contribute to delinquency include hereditary and constitutional issues, problems at school like a poor curriculum or teachers, and troubles at home such as a broken family, criminal parents, or lack of freedom. Teachers can help prevent delinquency by educating parents, removing children from bad influences, improving the school environment, organizing group activities, channeling energy into useful work, and providing moral and religious instruction.

This research work was designed to examine nature of juvenile offences committed by juveniles, causes of juvenile delinquency, consequences of juvenile delinquency and remedies for juvenile delinquency in the context of Sub-Saharan Africa with specific reference to Eritrea. Left unchecked, juvenile delinquents on the streets engage in petty theft, take alcohol or drugs, rape women, rob people at night involve themselves in criminal gangs and threaten the public at night. To shed light on the problem of juvenile delinquency in the Sub-Saharan region data was collected through primary and secondary sources. A sample size of 70 juvenile delinquents was selected from among 112 juvenile delinquents in remand at the Asmara Juvenile Rehabilitation Center in the Eritrean capital. The study was carried out through coded self-administered questionnaires administered to a sample of 70 juvenile delinquents. The survey evidence indicates that the majority of the juvenile respondents come either from families constructed by unmarried couples or separated or divorced parents where largely the father is missing in the home or dead. The findings also indicate that children born out of wedlock, families led by single mothers, lack of fatherly role models, poor parental-child relationships and negative peer group influence as dominant causes of juvenile infractions. The implication is that broken and stressed families are highly likely to be the breeding grounds for juvenile delinquency. The survey evidence indicates that stealing, truancy or absenteeism from school, rowdy or unruly behavior at school, free-riding in public transportation, damaging the book of fellow students and beating other young persons are the most common forms of juvenile offenses. It is therefore, recommended that parents and guardians should exercise proper parental supervision and give adequate care to transmit positive societal values to children. In addition, the government, the police, prosecution and courts, non-government organizations, parents, teachers, religious leaders, education administrators and other stakeholders should develop a child justice system that strives to prevent children from entering deeper into the criminal justice process.
This document is a dissertation submitted by Kavita Sahmey for the degree of Master of Arts in Development Studies.

A child who is nurtured with care grows positively, while neglect, wrong influences, or abuse can turn a child to delinquency. Children are also more vulnerable to criminal influences due to early exposure to media and expressing maturity. Juvenile delinquency refers to unlawful acts by those under 18 and has remained around 1.2% of total crimes over the past three years according to National Crime Records Bureau data. Factors contributing to juvenile delinquency include family issues like broken homes, environmental factors like living in disorganized neighborhoods, and school factors like association with deviant peers. Various approaches aim to support at-risk youth through opportunities and community involvement.
Adolescence Offence and Social Responsibilities: Perspective Upper Class Boys...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Adolescence offence among upper-class boys remains shrouded in mystery. So scanty is our
knowledge of this group that a public image of the upper-class adolescent is non-existent, and neither the barest
trace nor suspicion is available of him as delinquent. Although the hard knot of delinquency (behavior that is apt
to try any public tolerance) is located in the bottom levels of the working class, limited studies (using selfreported techniques) have revealed delinquency throughout the class structure. But nothing is known about the
delinquency of boys who attend expensive private schools. The purpose of this paper is to study Bangladeshi
upper class adolescents’ involvement in different violent and criminal activities and their growing tendency to
commit acts of violence in high schools and the reasons behind them. This study therefore aims to provide such
data by attempting to understand the different influential factors that are closely related with the involvement of
adolescence offence in Bangladesh. This study is based on primary data of 200 upper class adolescents who are
involved in different criminal activities of Dhaka city, 40 parents, 30 secondary school teachers, 20 social
workers and on review of secondary literatures. After collecting the data they are transcribed, tabulated and
analyzed in terms of the research objectives. This study shows that parents’ detachment, low internet cost, social
media, reluctantness of law and enforcement agencies and friends’ influence play the most important role on
upper class adolescence offence. This study also recommends some ways to mitigate this problem.

This document discusses juvenile crime and delinquency in Bangladesh. It provides background data on the child population and laws regarding criminal responsibility and trials. It explores trends in approaches to juvenile crime, either imprisoning more young offenders or seeking alternatives to imprisonment. The document outlines the scope of topics to be discussed, including the meaning and incidence of juvenile crime, causes, treatment approaches, and variables related to delinquency. It examines factors like poverty, family issues, and peer influences that can contribute to criminal behavior in youth. The conclusion advocates for rehabilitation over punishment of juvenile offenders and creating a society that helps rather than penalizes troubled children.
Family problems can contribute to juvenile delinquency. Disrupted families due to divorce, conflict, or negligent parenting can lack supervision and attachment, increasing susceptibility to peer pressure. Blended families may also experience less stability, conflict, and feelings of rejection. Family conflict can cause emotional and behavioral issues in children as they may learn that aggression is rewarded. Solutions include community programs, family counseling, and school guidance, as well as holding parents accountable for criminal behavior. Protective family factors include supportive relationships, positive discipline, monitoring, and advocacy, which reduce risks of developmental problems in youth.
This document discusses juvenile delinquency in India. It defines juvenile delinquency as abnormal or antisocial behavior by juveniles below a specified statutory age. Some key characteristics of juvenile delinquency in India include higher rates among boys than girls, peak rates during early adolescence from 12-16 years old, more prevalence in urban than rural areas, involvement of children living with parents/guardians, and attribution to low educational and economic backgrounds. The document also discusses types, causes, and preventive programs for juvenile delinquency.
This document summarizes research on juvenile delinquency and family dynamics. It provides statistics showing relationships between delinquency and factors like poverty, drug use, and family violence. Predictors of delinquency include ineffective parenting, low socioeconomic status, and peer influences. The document then describes several programs shown to help at-risk youth, including FAST, A-CRA, and AIM, which focus on family support, coping skills, and education to prevent criminal behavior. Chain gang programs are also mentioned as attempting rehabilitation through work programs.
Juvenile delinquency is a gateway to adult crime, since a large percentage of criminal careers have their roots in childhood causing serious problems all over the world. Delinquency has always been considered as a social problem over and above the fact that it is a legal problem it is also a psychological problem. Hence to avoid this social evil one has to tackle the complex problem of delinquency from the social psychological and to familial angles.
Although laws regarding Juvenile delinquencies have been formed long since, they are also being changed from time to time. Currently, in all the progressive and civilized countries of the world the laws with regard to the Juvenile delinquents have been changed.
Murder, rape, dacoity, burglary, kidnapping are a few more that add to the rest of it. On the basis of the available statistics, an inference can be drawn that these crimes are on the increasing path.
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.

The LAYC's Promotor Pathway program aims to reconnect disengaged youth to services through long-term relationships with caring adults called Promotores. Promotores provide youth with individualized case management and support across educational, employment, housing, and health domains for 4-6 years. An evaluation found the program significantly improved school engagement, parenting rates, and access to safe housing for youth compared to other LAYC services.
This document discusses juvenile delinquency in Jamaica. It defines juvenile delinquency as illegal acts committed by minors. The document examines juvenile delinquency as a social issue, how it is recognized in schools, existing measures to address it, and its implications for teachers and students. Suggestions to combat the problem include implementing safe school officers, effective parent-teacher associations, and workshops for students, parents and counselors. Statistics are presented from medical journals on youth violence and crime rates.
Lareau's research examines how small moments and contingencies in childhood can have large consequences for life outcomes. She studied 88 families from ages 10 to 30, finding that structural forces like policies on housing, education and the labor market intersected with families' economic resources and cultural knowledge to shape diverging paths. For example, Harold and Karl both faced challenges growing up poor, but their different networks of support influenced whether they could achieve goals like owning a business. Lareau's work underscores how social inequality persists through key moments that reproduce advantage or disadvantage across generations.
Juvenile delinquency refers to illegal acts committed by minors. There are four major risk factors that contribute to juvenile crime: substance abuse, family issues, personal issues, and easy access to drugs. To prevent delinquency, a harmonious family environment, support and supervision from parents, and facilities/extracurricular activities at school are important. Curative efforts involve actions from police and legal authorities to address symptoms of delinquency, while empowering youth can prevent re-offending. Neglect, abandonment or abuse can push a child toward criminal acts despite their normal capacity for obedience and morality.
Juvenile Delinquency - Definition, Meaning, Examples, Crimes and offensive be...Md.Azizul hakim Anik
A juvenile delinquent is a person who has not yet reached the age of maturity, and whose behavior has been labeled delinquent by a court.
It was William Coxson who in 1484, used the term ‘delinquent’ to describe a person found guilty of customary offence. In simpler words it may be said that delinquency is a form of behavior or rather misbehavior or deviation from the generally accepted norms of conduct in the society.

This document discusses psycho-social issues related to exploitation and delinquency of children. It defines exploitation as the abuse of individuals for financial or other benefits that negatively impact their health and development. Exploitation includes child labor, trafficking, and recruitment of underage children. Vulnerable groups like street children and those in conflict/displaced areas are at higher risk. Delinquency refers to failure to meet societal obligations and norms, especially for children in poor urban areas with lack of support systems. Causes include bad influences, lack of parental supervision, and inadequate school/recreational facilities. Both exploitation and delinquency violate children's fundamental rights to protection.
This document provides an overview of youth violence prevention and intervention. It discusses terminology, characteristics of violent youth, risk factors in their development, family and community environments, and key loci for intervention. While research on violent youth has been ongoing since the 1940s, prevention of youth violence remains a challenge as the statistics on youth arrests for violence have increased over the past few decades. The document emphasizes that prevention is more effective than intervention for long-term positive impact, though prevention programs can take years to show effects while intervention programs address immediate problems.
The document discusses juvenile delinquency, which refers to illegal or antisocial behavior by children and adolescents. It outlines several theories for the causes of youth crime, including strain theory proposed by Robert Merton, which suggests that lack of access to legitimate means of success due to factors like poverty can lead youth to crime. The document also describes a new juvenile justice law in the Philippines that emphasizes restorative justice and diversion of youth offenders from the criminal justice system whenever possible.
This presentation provides information on the causes of juvenile crime in Trinidad and Tobago, generally along the East / West corridor in the last ten years.
The document discusses gender identity and the factors that influence it. It explains that gender identity is a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not correspond to their sex assigned at birth. It explores both biological factors like genes and hormones, as well as strong social and environmental influences like parental attitudes and cultural norms. The document also addresses how gender roles and stereotypes are learned from a young age but are becoming more flexible in modern times.

Having a teacher is important in many situations to provide guidance and expertise. Teachers can help students learn new skills or concepts, ensure people have the right understanding, and answer questions that arise. Their experience and knowledge in a subject matter allows them to instruct and advise others in an efficient manner.
This meta-analysis examined short-term and long-term mortality rates following elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair versus endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) based on data from four randomized controlled trials with a total of 2783 patients. The analysis found that 30-day all-cause mortality was significantly higher for open repair compared to EVAR (3.2% vs 1.2%). However, there was no significant difference in long-term all-cause mortality between the two groups. Reintervention rates were higher following EVAR compared to open repair (18.9% vs 9.3%), but this finding was considered doubtful due to large heterogeneity. No significant differences were found between the

The document discusses the social problem of poverty and how it relates to incarceration rates among minority groups. It argues that poverty predisposes disadvantaged groups like African Americans and Latinos to incarceration due to racial biases in policing and the criminal justice system. Poverty contributes to higher crime rates in poor neighborhoods and lack of access to resources like education and jobs. Discrimination in employment also makes it harder for disadvantaged groups to escape poverty, further increasing their likelihood of engaging in criminal behavior and incarceration.

How to Respond to Criminal Behavior among the Youth
Student’s Name
Institution
Introduction
Criminal behavior has been a major area of focus to most psychologists. This is especially due to the age old debate between nature and being well nurtured. It is the main responsibility of most parents to know the genetic makeup of their children, for the sake of responsible parenting and also, in order to determine the outcome of their behaviors and norms they chose to embrace. Research has been conducted regarding this debate for quite a while, and has proven that both genes and the general environment have a big role to play when it comes to the criminality of an individual(Levine, 2003). The behaviors adopted by children and the youth should be put into consideration, considering that this is what has an impact on the safety of the society and the nation at large. Poor upbringing for the youth hasa great role to play especially in determining the kind of negative behaviors they chose to embrace later in their lives. This paper shows the findings in research on aspects of criminal justice and at the same time, a presentation of the varying opinions on how to respond to criminal behavior among the youth.
Crime during the transition to adulthood
Transition from childhood to adulthood is a complexperiod especially for the youth. In most cases, it becomes difficult for the youth to engage in various systems and they tend to be more conscious of their aging. Whereas most of the youth gradually transform from childhood to adult hood, this is the major stage in life which should be taken more seriously and in most cases, be prioritized in the society (Florez, 2008). Families should give the youth a chance to express their views on different aspects. Through survey data, it was identified that more than 732 youth are transitioning from out of home care to adulthood across for major states.
Based on research aspects, offences committed are attributed to the youth in various countries. Foster youth, just like their peers, tend to engage in less crime over a period of time. Those who lack mentorship are more exposed to criminal elements and tend to participate more in criminal behavior (Ashford, 2009). However, foster youth also remain more prone to arrest just like their peers. The transition from childhood to adulthood should be well handled to ensure that children are raised in lawful environments and at the same time, are provided with basic resources and counseling to help them in the future.
Causes of criminal behavior among the youth
The youth are affected by violence. This includes all children especially between the ages of 12 and 16, who are more exposed to violence and are twice as likely as adults to be victims of such situations. Homicide is known to be the third leading cause of loss of life for people between the ages of 15 and 25. The increase in rates of rape, vic ...
Maintaining a positive relationship among family members creates a harmonious learning environment. When children are nurtured in such surroundings, they are likely to increase their emotional, social, and academic accomplishments and learn more effectively. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the familial role in emotional, social and academic adaptation of middle school students. The sample consisted of 9,728 middle school students from different parts of a Middle East country. The size of the sample was determined using multistage random sampling. Data were obtained using an emotional, social and academic survey and a family structure questionnaire. The study showed that most students have average or better behavior adaptation. Moreover, healthy family structures, favorable economic situation, and high-end paternal professions facilitate behavior adaptation. On the other hand, maternal employment has no effect upon behavior adaptation.
EFFECT OF CHILD ABUSE ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENT...ResearchWap
ABSTRACT
This project work focuses on the effects of child abuse on students’ academic performance. The study attempts to unravel the causes, effects and remedies to child abuse among secondary school students. It was carried out in Esan West Local Government Area of Edo State. A sample of 100 was randomly drawn from selected secondary schools in the local government and questionnaires were administered to the respondents. The mean percentage test, which was adopted in the study’s analysis, indicated that excessive battering of a child by parents/teacher/guidance; broken homes, child hawking before and after school and an unconducive learning environment are all causes of child abuse. Also, it was found that child abuse negatively affects a child’s school performance; such abused children are vulnerable to early pregnancy. Ill-treatment as well causes permanent and lifelong trauma, thereby making children develop low cognition of school subjects. The preaching of good morals by religious leaders to parents and guardians is part of the recommendations made in this study. Also, melting out punishment in form of fines on erring parents/guidance especially those forcing their children to hawk, and prevention from bad peer influence will help eliminate or reduce to the barest minimum the incidence of child abuse among secondary school students.
IntroductionAdolescent Fatherhood has become a com.docxmariuse18nolet
Introduction
Adolescent Fatherhood has become a common occurrence in today’s society. The challenge of motherhood and teen pregnancy has been looked into in depth. However, most of research programs mainly focus on teenage pregnancy which means that the girl child is given more priority than the father of the child in such situations, researchers and government agencies suggests that fathers are absent. The lack of attention given to adolescent fathers by social workers, health-care practitioners, and Adolescent Fatherhood is not researched adequately which means that the industry should put more effort in providing adequate information about these young fathers. The lack of focus has made the teenage father face many psychological problems without help from the society that has bred them(Mollborn, & Lovegrove, 2010).
Thesis
This paper will address the critical role played by the social workers and community leaders in helping the adolescent fathers deal with the problems they experience at their age. The Psychological issues will be properly addressed as they affect the behavior of that father. Moreover, the relationship between the adolescent father and the child will be put into context.
Adolescent fathers
Adolescent fathers are the young boys who become fathers when they are still in their adolescence. The reason adolescent fathers have been previously neglected is the lack of concern with the role a man plays from infancy to childhood. There are also some social prejudicial and social-structural factors that are particular to adolescent fathers that have led to their neglect. Since adolescent fathers are not married at the time of conception and birth, they end up being excluded from taking part in the birth and early care of the child. Some of the factors that are related to the increased risk of adolescent fatherhood include poor academic achievement, being born from a teenage mother, early initiation into sexual activities, and low-income.
Psychological and social issues faced by adolescent fathers
Adolescent fathers suffer from anxiety and depression due to the burden of having to deal with their new state of fatherhood. They are expected to provide for their children and the mothers of these children yet most of them can barely take care of themselves. The society has branded adolescent fathers as being sexually reckless youth who do not take responsibility for their children and their mothers. Adolescent fathers end up being disowned by their parents and treated as outcasts by the society.
Environmental factors that affect adolescent fathers
There are some environmental factors that affect adolescent fathers. One of these factors is educational and occupational barriers. These barriers limit the male capacity of these adolescent fathers to assume their parental responsibilities. They often face the pressure of continuing with formal education and on the other hand pressure to offer financial assistance to their child and the m.
CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT 2
Child Abuse and Neglect
Introduction
Child welfare is one of the special areas of practice in social work. It is special in the context in which the principles and values that govern the social work profession align with policies that guide child welfare organizations. Child abuse is one of the major universal social problems that impact children from all types and levels of society. Child abuse can have a significant impact on the child's personality growth. More so, it can affect the child's adult behavior in later life. Therefore, it the role of the social workers to study the causes of abuse and treatment. Underlaying the efforts is the belief that all societies are responsible for creating an abuse-free society (Zeanah & Humphreys, 2018). This study aims to evaluate factors related to childhood abuse and neglect and social workers' role in alleviating the problem.
Nature and scope of child abuse and neglect
Child abuse is a devastating social problem in society. While the legal definition of child abuse and neglect may vary across different states, there are four recognized classifications of child abuse and neglect. They are sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional maltreatment, and neglect. They neglect medical, educational, and other forms of neglect. Almost 700 000 children are abused every year in the United States. That is about 1 percent of the total number of kids. In 2019, it was estimated that 1770 children in the United States died because of child abuse and neglect. However, the data is incomplete because there are likely to be a lot of unreported cases (Krugman & Poland, 2019). The most prone victims of abuse and neglect are the youngest children. That is children who are in the first year of their life. WWW points out that in 2019 children of 3 years and below experienced a mistreatment rate of 16 per 1000. For children aged 4 to 7 years, the mistreatment rate was 12 per 1000 population. For 8 to 11 years, the mistreatment rate was at 8 per 1000 population. The mistreatment rate goes on decreasing as the children age up. It is the responsibility of child welfare authorities to ensures the safety of children in the country.
Historical Background
For a long time, children have been considered as the property of their parents. Therefore, this notion assumes that parents hold the power of life and death over their children. Throughout history, there have been social provisions that seek to protect orphans and the abandoned children from abuse and neglect. The provisions covered only the orphans and the disabled. However. It is in the last 150 years that the state has made efforts to protect the rights of children by overriding the rights of parents. That means that during the era of the industrial revolution and the invention and introduction of compulsory education attendan ...
Too Much Pressure On High School StudentsLisa Fields
This document discusses the issue of too much pressure being placed on high school students. It notes that students experience pressure not just from school but also from parents and society. This pressure can lead students to stay up late to finish homework, lose interest in hobbies, or experience academic burnout. The document argues that too much pressure on high school students can lead to academic failure, truancy, and depression. When students are expected to succeed but do not meet those expectations, it can cause stress and a lack of support within the household.
The document discusses how lack of stable family structure can lead to juvenile delinquency. Specifically, it touches on four ways this can occur: 1) Children who do not receive love and affection from parents may act out for attention or develop bad behaviors. 2) Children from broken homes like those impacted by divorce are more likely to engage in antisocial behavior. 3) Children who witness parental disagreements may struggle with relationships and social skills. 4) Poor parenting skills where children do not learn right from wrong can cause children to imitate bad parental habits.

Combating Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile delinquency is an umbrella term for the different forms of criminal behavior
displayed by youth under the age of 18. Theories that have emerged to explain juvenile
delinquency are based on multiple factors such as biological, social, and psychological
factors. Juvenile delinquency is often a sign of neglect by parents, peers, and the community
toward the problems faced by children (Regoli, 1). This assessment will discuss programs
based in New York City that aim to reduce juvenile delinquency along with ideas that can
help prevent future juvenile delinquency. The assessment will also discuss the theoretical
frameworks that underlie the interventions that shape policies on juvenile delinquency
regulation.
Existing Policies on Delinquency Prevention
All juvenile delinquency prevention/reduction programs active in New York City
operate in conjunction with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (New
York State, 2). Two programs that are active in New York City are the Queens Engagement
Strategies for Teens (QUEST) program (Center for Court Innovation, 3) and the Schenectady
Juvenile Mental Health Diversion Project (New York State Juvenile Justice Advisory Group,
4). The Center for Court Innovation launched QUEST in collaboration with important mental
health and law enforcement agencies in New York City and State. This program can be
accessed by youths whose cases are pending in juvenile courts and who have been screened
for at least one mental health disorder. A youth is enrolled in this program after being ordered
by judges of family courts or referred by the Department of Probation. The youth is assessed
for mental health disorders and can participate in the program with the consent of a parent or
a legal guardian. Once enrolled, he or she participates in on-site group and individual
psychoeducational sessions that cover issues such as depression, suicidal tendencies, and lack
of emotional intelligence and consequential thinking (Center for Court Innovation, 3). This

program also provides access to community-based services such as family or individual
therapy, inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment, academic support programs,
public assistance programs, skill training, and employment opportunities. Though the
initiative aims to minimize rearrests, approximately 20% of children enrolled in the program
between 2008 and 2011 faced rearrests (Center for Court Innovation, 5).

Various factors can influence a child's development into a criminal, including family environment, interactions between social agents, and lack of support systems. A dysfunctional family or parental abuse can negatively impact a child's development. Without proper coordination between family and education, or access to mental healthcare, a child may engage in criminal behavior later in life due to these adverse childhood experiences. Understanding what drives criminals can help prevent future crimes by addressing their basic needs and the root causes that influenced their criminal behavior.
This study aimed at finding out the effects of social life adjustment on the academic achievements of adolescents in secondary schools in the North West Region of Cameroon and also to verify if the social life adjustment and academic achievement apply equally for both male and female. Four hundred and eighty (480) students were randomly sampled from three secondary schools in major urban areas of the Region. The descriptive survey design was used for the study. A self-constructed questionnaire with the Likert scale on social life adjustment was used to gather the necessary data. Two null hypotheses were formulated and tested at the 0.05 level of significance. The data were analysed using the chi-square and Fishers’ Z scores for gender. The findings revealed that social life adjustment had significant influence on students’ academic achievements in secondary schools in the North West Region of Cameroon. It was also found that there exist no significant difference in the effects of social life adjustment on academic performance between boys and girls. Based on these findings, it was recommended amongst others that, counsellors should constantly monitor and guide adolescents properly during class periods, recess periods and extracurricular activities in order for them to achieve academically. Keywords: Social life adjustment; Adolescents; Academic achievements; Cameroon.
1) The document summarizes research on building community and sense of belonging for youth. It discusses how connectedness to families, schools, and communities leads to better health outcomes and less risky behaviors for adolescents.
2) Positive youth development programs that provide a supportive environment for youth have shown small benefits for academic achievement and psychological adjustment compared to programs focused solely on activities.
3) Community interventions like parenting programs that encourage collaboration and mutual support between community members have been associated with positive outcomes for families and youth.
This chapter discusses theories of child emotional abuse, including psychological, social, and transactional theories. Psychological theories see abuse arising from perpetrators' psychological problems, describing them as depressed, immature, aggressive, and insecure. Social theories view abuse as resulting from cultural and environmental factors being passed through generations. Transactional theory focuses on how factors like poverty, divorce, and personality traits can increase or decrease the likelihood of abuse occurring within the parent-child relationship and wider environment. Definitions of emotional abuse center around behaviors that convey a child is worthless or only valued for meeting others' needs.
This document discusses challenges to maintaining Malaysian values and good behavior among the younger generation. It identifies three main challenges: 1) Declining family institution where parents spend less time with children and fail to instill moral values; 2) An education system focused on academics over character building; 3) Unrestricted technology use exposing youth to inappropriate content and reducing human interaction. Suggestions are provided targeting each challenge, including parent education programs, strengthening character education in schools, and monitoring children's technology usage. Overall the document emphasizes the important role of families, education, and responsible technology use in shaping youth morality and building a stable, values-driven society.

Centre for Osama bin Zaid in the pavement and the researcher on the scales personal four (lying, nervousness,
mental, extroversion) after adjusted to fit with the nature of the sample and showed study machine must be the
need for social institutions and competent authorities to hold courses and seminars for parents, to ensure that
explain the factors that cause juvenile delinquency and how to avoid delinquency and the survival of society
intact. Study Khtatna (2006) entitled "factors of juvenile delinquency in Jordan," aimed to know the
characteristics and social backgrounds for juvenile delinquents, and their families, and the impact of some of the
factors in juvenile delinquency has been the use of a questionnaire of 150 questions closed and distributed to
juvenile convicts living in the center of Muhammad bin Qasim Thaqafi to take care of events in the city of Irbid,
the study revealed that the characteristics and social backgrounds of the events and their families are the
backgrounds incentive to commit acts of deviant and low levels of education and economic development to the
families of the events, and the existence of a positive relationship between the residential area and comrades, the

(2004) entitled "The impact of social and economic factors on juvenile delinquency," The aim of this study was
to investigate the factors behind the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency and its relation to a range of social and
economic factors that surround them, the researcher found that the rate of juvenile delinquency increases as
increased life event , and the level of his average, and increase the size of his family, and arranged an average
between the brothers, and the level of education of the parents and also the level of education event has a role in
the deviation, where the proportion was higher with events in the learning medium and the ratio of Supreme
profession guardians events are retired and then farmers while The study pointed out that the profession events
mothers were housewives. Study Ruwaished (2004) entitled "disruptive behavior with juvenile offenders and its
relationship to disintegrate the family," This study aimed to identify the dimensions of disruptive behavior at
events and the relationship of disruptive behavior disintegration of family and study shows that juveniles who
live with the father less worried of juveniles who are living with the mother and the impact of family
disintegration events living with a parent or parents is less than juveniles who are living with their parents. study
(PATRICK,2004) entitled the "delinquent behavior among school students," The results of this study indicated
that delinquent behavior was more pronounced among school students and the impact of the economic situation
in delinquency, where they tend to extroversion pattern in the transaction.Study Balushi (2003) entitled "factors
of juvenile delinquency and prevention from an Islamic perspective," The aim of this study was to identify the
factors of juvenile delinquency and treatment from an Islamic perspective by highlighting the role of Islamic
education in the prevention, raising event breeding balanced pure delinquency and showed this study remedial
measures for the treatment of delinquency events and showed that the factors of juvenile delinquency and the
presence of bad friends and the lack of religious programs, educational and cultural aimed at the TV screen, and
watch movies violence and crime pay the event of delinquency, and leisure long the events non-independent, and
their presence outside the house for hours late at night, and the flight of the event school teacher because of the
cruelty and ill-treatment, or indifference, neglect, and neglect of the social worker to resolve social problems
play a big role in the deviation.
What distinguishes our study from previous studies: Notes, which provide many previous female students
that addressed the issue of juvenile delinquency factors, whether Arab or foreign These studies came to know the
factors of juvenile delinquency within communities and the extent of awareness of people and community
members behavior the deviant. As this study has identified the causes of juvenile delinquency from the
standpoint of social institutions staff (nursing homes) because they place deviants collects and events that qualify
them to acquire new skills for the deviation. This study focuses on the importance of family, school and social
institution identifying the problems of the individual deviant and linked to environmental conditions and social
within his social life and try to provide solutions to make this individual lives in a social environment together
and disagreed with the study of Getty and his colleagues (2009) in terms of considering errors within the
institutions may be unintended in the renewal of the deviation is of the opinion that these institutions have a
significant role in the deviation. Has agreed to study with study Khtatne the impact of social factors in shaping
the behavior deviant However study Sharari (2004), the impact of economic factors, however study Ruwaished
(2004) and the study of Patrick (2004), the impact of the factors of physical and psychological factors in
formation behaviors deviant explained this study that factors family her active role in juvenile delinquency,
especially if neglected parents and the presence of children and their mental abilities and their ability to think
and cognition; or not to allow them to express, and express their views, and its relationship with the social
environment, including the conditions of social, economic or psychological or physical linked to the individual
himself, and prepare to engage in Deviation or not to engage the help of various community organizations that
have a role in the preparation of future generations to build a community and its development.

Results and discussion and recommendations
This chapter statistical analysis of the data, which are grouped in the light of achieving the objectives of the
study, which is to identify the factors leading to juvenile delinquency, and to identify how different estimates of
members of the study of these factors depending on the variables: sex, qualification, years of experience, age.
And rely on questionnaire composed of the first Dzoin: consists of general information to the statement of the
demographic characteristics of the study sample, and the second part consists of 20 vertebrae to measure the
factors leading to juvenile delinquency, and set forth in Supplement No. (1). After the completion of data
collection, the researchers finding percentages of the demographic characteristics of the study sample. And
calculate averages and standard deviations for the answer to the first question, as was calculated averages and
standard deviations and analysis of variance test for comparison between the arithmetic averages of the
responses of members of the study on the factors leading to juvenile delinquency depending on variables
(experience, age). The test results have been calculated (v) to compare the arithmetic averages of the responses
of members of the study of the factors leading to juvenile delinquency due to the variables (sex, qualification).
The following are the results of this analysis:
4: Results for the first question:
The first question: What are the factors leading to juvenile delinquency?
To answer this question, has been the use of averages and standard deviations, so as to know the factors leading
to juvenile delinquency. In the light of Answers study sample to the terms of the scale, as shown in Table (2),
and were given brand (5) Strongly Agree, (4) agree, (3) neutral, (2) do not agree, (1) strongly disagree, To
illustrate the degree of appreciation for each paragraph (judgment on averages and standard deviations were the
adoption of the standard, the paragraphs were arranged in descending order according to the degree of
appreciation.

Economic factors 3.80 0.74 High
Social factors 3.75 0.98 High
bodily factors 3.74 0.78 High
The tool as a whole 3.85 0.74 High
Depending on the Table (2) noted that the general assessment of the factors leading to juvenile delinquency was
high, as the arithmetic average of the year to members of the study estimates the tool as a whole (3.85). And that
the members of the study on the dimensions of sub-tool high, and has taken the factors of family ranked first
with an average (4.09) and standard deviation (1.01), followed by the second "psychological factors" a mean of
