Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile delinquency is illegal behavior made by adolescents. There are many different theories people have of the reason of the crime. The crime could have been caused by a mental disorder, peer pressure, family environment, labeling, or strain. It could have also been caused from a moral panic. A juvenile delinquent is one who repeats the crime. These crimes are committed between the ages of fifteen to twenty-five years old. In the book, Jude by Kate Morgenroth, Jude was a juvenile delinquent that transformed into a lawyer. When Jude went to jail, he changed how he thought about his life. He changed his outcome to a positive influence. Disciplining adolescents for illegal behavior is a great way to keep them cooperative and change them for the better.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juvenile_justice_system)
