uvenile delinquency is an act that violates the norm, rules or laws of a society carried out by teenagers or children.

Today, many teenagers are not only involved in brawls but they also commit crimes, such as drug abuse and murder.

There are a number of factors that contribute to juvenile delinquency.

British and American investigations reveal that nearly 30 percent of the delinquents come from broken homes. Broken homes are the most serious cause of juvenile delinquency.

In fact, divorce affects children'€™s psychology and behavior.

The community also contributes to juvenile delinquency. Unfavorable environments with rampant crime certainly affect the behavior of teenagers.

We often see inappropriate actions carried out by members of society, such as littering, ignoring safety regulations on the road and destructive actions against the environment. Such actions certainly affect the behavior of young people as well.

It is important for each family to pay attention to their children. Parents need to be aware of the activities of their children. Meanwhile, each individual needs to contribute to the situation in the community.
