Delinquency among the Youth
Roles Played by schools, police, and families in promoting misconduct.
Home being the starting point of learning, the absence of parents in raising kids, or adverse effects from parents play a significant role in promoting delinquency in children. Conflicts in families significantly contribute to youth crimes since they will practice what they see at home from their parents. Children brought up by criminal parents are more likely to be .delinquent. Schools with poor policies of punishing students who fail to attend to daily routines may contribute to delinquency. Failure of schools to encourage students to follow school routines contributes to the loss of student’s habits. Children who fail to follow school rules and regulations also fail to comply with regulations guiding society. Despite the effective policing reducing crime rates, it also plays an indirect role in promoting delinquency among the youth since it makes the youths involved in criminal activities to shun away from the police. Hence the direct involvement of the police may be even more harmful since the child may still go back to illegal activities.
Roles Played by Family, schools, and police in reducing delinquency
Family plays a significant role in child behavioral formation. Positive childrearing is vital in combating children’s misbehavior. Carrying out child monitoring enables parents to the progress of child behavior and hence shaping their conduct. Disciplining children in families help in reducing children’s misbehavior since children will grow up knowing what is right and what is wrong. Schools instill discipline to students and hence reducing rates of miss behavior. Schools offer report forms to students to take to parents for evaluation. Schools have parent contacts, and they call the parents to discuss school progress of students, and that helps to reduce children’s misbehaviors. Direct contact between police and youth help reduce youth crimes in several ways. The police have introduced plans that help youths avoid performing criminal activities. Police also have Juvenile and rehabilitation centers that help the child transform their habits.
Strategies for treating and preventing delinquency
If I were a correcting American society with the main aim of getting away with Juvenile delinquency, I would intervene to families and their children before they commit juvenile offenses since preventing is better than cure. I would also fund community programs that educate citizens and children on the importance of abiding by the law hence increasing public awareness on matters related to crime.
