Delinquency
Captions available
The idea
Delinquency is an unlawful act committed by a minor; it has been declining, though about thirty-four percent of adolescents report some criminal behaviour in one survey.
In practice
Low monitoring, parent–teen conflict, absenteeism, poor achievement, dropout, poverty, dangerous neighbourhoods and maltreatment among the risk factors.
Where people slip
Socioemotional interventions such as multisystemic therapy reduce reoffending.
