Delinquency in youth can be influenced by various factors, including family dynamics, peer pressure, and socioeconomic status. Children from unstable homes or those experiencing neglect may be more prone to engage in delinquent behavior. Additionally, associations with peers who exhibit similar behaviors can lead to increased risk of delinquency. Another significant cause is exposure to violence or crime in the community. Environments with high crime rates can normalize delinquent behavior, making it seem acceptable. Furthermore, lack of access to education and recreational activities can contribute to feelings of boredom and frustration, prompting some youths to seek excitement through unlawful actions.
