Juvenile delinquency refers to illegal acts committed by minors. It is a serious social problem that is often a result of rapid urbanization and industrialization. Children living in slums and cities are more vulnerable to juvenile delinquency. Some key causes of juvenile delinquency include internal factors like struggling with identity development and weak self-control during adolescence, as well as external factors like problematic family situations, unfavorable peers, and poor communities. Solutions involve helping teens develop a strong identity and self-control through role models, as well as improving family relationships and environments. Overall, juvenile delinquency is considered a crime in many countries and disproportionately affects those from poor educational and economic backgrounds.
