FACTORS AFFECTING JUVENILE DELINQUENCY
Abstract
The occurrence of juvenile delinquency has become a major societal concern caused by various factors both at the micro and macro levels. This study aims to assess the perceived influence of the different socio-economic factors affecting juvenile delinquency. This study surveyed 105 respondents whose ages ranged from 12 to 31 years old. Of the factors having influence on delinquency, it was found out that peer pressure was perceived to have a great influence on the decision of juveniles to commit delinquent actions. Hence, there should be a combined effort from parents, teachers, counselling psychologists, and school counsellors at ensuring that the adolescent is on the right path and could sail through the stage with minimal disruptions.
