Essay On Juvenile Delinquency

TOPIC: Families that spend more time together with their children will be significantly less likely to have delinquents later in life.
INTRODUCTION
In my research, I want to attempt to explain the effects that family structure has on juvenile delinquency and find a method to prevent the problems from happening in the future. This topic is interesting because most kids are born with a family, it does not have to be biological it can also be a guardian. With that said the first thing that kids learn is what their parents teach and show them so is like a monkey see monkey do effect. If some parents are troubled in the household this can transfer a major affect on the kids who have to witness this abuse. In some cases it is hard for the parents to take care of their child because of the lifestyle situation. They might be working every hour of the day to maintain the family or they could be sick. Either way these types of problems should be taken into consideration in trying to find a solution for parents and kids to have time for each other.
It is hard to see so many kids around the United States with so much potential for a brighter future, to be labeled delinquents. Even through is not a there fault for the life that they have perused.

The least amount of communication and interactions the family tends to give the child, the more likely he/she will be encouraged to delinquent activities.

I hope that my research can help in a positive way on applying my ideas in a way of trying to prevent our future kids from going the wrong path. Implementing guidance and support on juveniles can help them believe that there is a brighter future than just doing criminal acts. Although, without their families help there will never be a change in their lives so more kids will just end up in the system. The family has to bond with their child understand them as a person try to find their needs so when they think of them its positive. Being their role model can change their lives tremendously, all kids want is to look up to someone and a delinquent should not be one of them. Family is key.
