Top Research Papers on Juvenile Delinquency

It is concluded that juvenile crime appears to be part of a major problem, including adult crime, which involves social and economic considerations, and more exact information regarding the age-constitution of local populations is required to gauge properly the differences between the incidence of juvenile crime in different parts of the country.

SUMMARY Previous research exploring the formation and influence of peer relationships on male and female delinquency has found a strong connection between friendships with antisocial peers and involvement in delinquent activity. Although there has been a substantial amount of research exploring these relationships, the majority of studies have focused upon male adolescents. This qualitative study was designed to compare genders on the influence of peer relationships contributing to delinquent behavior. Information was obtained through interviews with 10 male and 10 female incarcerated juvenile...

Perhaps less significant (and generally less popular) are such techniques as the parable, anecdote, field trip, panel, exhibition, etc. For the most part, the reports of actual practice tended to approximate rather well what the instructors indicated as &dquo;ideal&dquo;-a situation not exactly commonplace in higher education today. The tendency, in 1948 at least, was toward a rather significant allocation of time to the informal lecture and the discussion (5’0 per cent and more) and, what is to me surprising, about 10 per cent to the formal lec-

Association of Probation Officers began to give attention to problems that might arise if the experiences of f 1914-18 had to be endured again, for juvenile delinquency becomes a serious distraction when everyone is occupied in winning a war. The first World War found the community unprepared for any serious change in the behaviour of young people and when an increase in indictable offences occurred in 1916 hasty efforts were made to cope -with the situation by means of juvenile organisations’ committees. As a preliminary steep, in anticipation of a similar experience the National Executive Co...

SIR,-In your restrained and helpful leader (Feb. 2, p. 167) you speak of the Socialist Medical Association being "content with nothing that stops short of the socialization of medicine." May I enter a plea once more for the use of the word "nationalization " rather than "socialization " when we use the term in the sense of "any form of service which leads directly or indirectly to the profession as a whole becoming full-time salaried servants of the State." As I pointed out in my Cardiff address (Journal, March 17, 1945, p. 357), to " socialize " medicine may mean only to make medicine more ac...

Dr. Mannheim found that during the five years 1941 to 1945 the average figure for ind...

The growth of any civilization depends upon the children who are the yardsticks to measure its success. Children are the most vulnerable group in the society, and they are in need of greatest social care. The changes in the society have influenced the children to commit crime and through these changes the juveniles are heading towards the path of crime. Certain factors are responsible for the juveniles to commit delinquent acts such as the negative influence from peer groups and other socio-economic factors. Juvenile Delinquency is a deliberate issue as a delinquent child can become a persiste...

Academic Credit According to the Ohio Department of Higher Education, one (1) semester hour of college credit will be awarded for each lecture hour.
