The video gives good logical reasons to why juveniles turn into delinquents. How a child is raised plays a major part in the decisions that they make. Most rich kids aren't going to go out and steal because daddy can just buy it for them. A child raised in a religious home don't go out and commit first degree murder. A child raised in a home with a mother and father who are married don't go out and commit rape and crimes against woman. When you have children you have to remember that you as parents are just 2 of the million of teachers. When your child goes to school there are over 100 other people teaching your child. They are known as peers. If you are in poverty those peers may come from a broken home or drug infested neighborhood and will link up with your child. Talk to your child about their struggle and draw him or her into the life that they life. Good thing scholarships were invented for the unfortunate and disadvantaged to get out of their situation. As Robert Merton says everyone has the same dream but not the same opportunities. This is so true and it can cause children to lead to criminal acts. Being a MotherOf4 and four boys at that puts a lot of stress on me. They have to grow up a world with two strikes against them being black and being a black man. With gangs and violence pulling them the wrong way you have to stay in your child life and let them know right from wrong. One of the reasons I am going into this profession. I don't want my sons to fall victim to the streets. Knowledge is Power!!MotherOf4123
You point out some really good points and I’m glad someone else sees it and not just me. I grew up in a bad neighborhood and had to pass the private school of the area to get to my school. They saw our broke down bus and would laugh and point. Those kids probably get everything handed to them and not put much work into it. Their parents must have good jobs and have connections for their kids to get into once grown up. When my parents were struggling they couldn’t tend to my wants. So when kids grow up with envy and more “wants” they’ll do anything to get it. They also act like we want to stay in the hood. They actually think we enjoy living there. We all have a shot at the American dream, but some are at an advantage more than others. At the end of the day it all is a never ending cycle. Hopefully we can repair the cycle one day Rugby123
I agree with you that how you raise your kid is definitely a major role in the decisions they make but I will say that no matter how good of a parent you are no matter what good morals you can place into your child ultimately they will make their own choices. Even if you are a completely perfect parent it just depends on how the child feels about the things he or she does if they are going to commit a crime it will depend on if the child thinks it is worth. Also I believe you are completely wrong about your sons they aren't born with strikes against them how could you see it as that? Regardless of what race or color you are you should respect your ancestry and use that to better yourself. If you think being black is a bad thing i am sorry but you are just feeding into society today by claiming yourself at a disadvantage. Anybody can do anything they want regardless of what race, gender, or age they are. As long as a kid has role models in their life and they feel cared about it will lessen the chances of poor life decisions along the way.
So as I notice all the characteristics of a delinquent. I noticed a lot of obvious factors. Our parents can only do so much when it comes to making sure we are making the right decisions because in the end, its up to us to follow their rules or go on our own way. Especially with schools being less fortunate than others and lack with good educators and after school programs. But having a good home filled with compassion and love can go really far when choosing what type of friend groups you choose to be apart of. Friends are also a big part. They can either be a positive influence or a negative one. Being in a bad neighborhood also affects this as if all you see are drugs, violence and crime then you tend to adapt to your own environment. But this is a goal of mine as I become a police officer, to be apart of a department in a bad neighborhood. I’d love to work in the hours of when school begins and ends as I’d patrol the streets of heavy student count so they feel safe going to and from school. I want to be the one cop that cares. So they can finally say “Not all police officers are bad!” and use me as an example . Rugby123
The factors that are given in the video do give a very well observed and well thought out. I believe that the surroundings of a child when they are raised can affect how they are later on in life. So if a child is raised in a lower class or ghetto area their ego identity may be completely opposite of a child that has grown up in a higher class or high income area. The people around them will play a totally different role in society. Kids will be more persuaded to do what others are doing around them are doing so if the kid in the lower class neighborhood sees others selling drugs, robbing, stealing he or she might have a higher chance of committing these crimes around them to fit in even if they personally do no believe that what the act they are doing is right. Even with these standards I still believe that no matter where a child is brought up he or she can still do and be whatever they want regardless of their raising because people can use their up bringing to better themselves with whatever they want to do with their life. Crimes around people do not define every person around them and sometimes it is not viewed that way to most people. For example even though Compton, CA is a very dangerous place to live in or go to that ultimately does not mean that every single person in the town is bad and as long as a child has a good role model even if it is just 1 person that can make the difference between how they will act in adolescence and in adulthood.
I strongly agree with what you said about where people grow up can be the reason for their actions. It all comes back to social class and what your exposed too. Lower social classes tend to have drugs,prostitution,abuse, and lower education. If someone is exposed to that, they could come to the conclusion thats just how life is. People can always change when they get older and move out of that "bad part" of town if thats the reason for their behavior.
The video reenforces the reasons behind juvenile delinquency and supports what I thought before I watched the video. Criminals aren't just born criminals. It all starts as juveniles and what a person is exposed too. If a young boy watches his mother get beaten by his dad chances are he will do the same when he gets older or do some other type of criminal activity. People that drop out of school also have a greater risk of being a subject of criminal activity. This isn't always the case but the statistics in the video showed that 60% of juvenile delequients dropped out of school. What makes the difference in these kid's lifes are adults and father figures. If a young person isnt getting the attention they need at home they will look for it elsewhere and start doing things they normally wouldnt do for friends. A youth pastor, a friends parents, an uncle, anyone that has good ethics and morals can totally change a young persons view if they havent been exposed already. Then there is always kids that know whats right and wrong but still participate in criminal activity. For those type of children there isnt much you can do but let them learn from their mistakes and hopefully learn that way.
I like how you included the reasons the video states in your response. I personally believe that these issues of being in "broken homes", dropping out of school, and introduction to domestic violence all directly contribute to juveniles delinquency. As I stated in my response, kids are very impressionable and I believe that they mirror their environmental surroundings whether its positive or negative. Which, if its negative, can increase the chances of juvenile delinquency. -Pack123
I was thinking they same thing before watching this video. Monkey see, monkey do. It is just like if a child is around people who cuss all the time. The child is going to think that cussing is okay, and they are going to do it, too. You have to let them learn from their mistakes. FBI123
The video does a great job in providing reasons to what factors contribute to juveinle delinquency. We all know that kids are very impressionable. If a young boy hangs out with a troubled older group of kids than they are more likely to behave in ways similar to that group. Another example of negative impressions would also be present in the home as well. If there is a sense of negativity like domestic violence, physical and verbal abuse then the child is likely to continue that trend within their own life. This increases the chance of delinquency as well as their chances of becoming involved in criminal behavior as adults as well. However many different factors can increase the chance of delqinuecy, we as a society should be focusing on ways to counter these factors for the good of the child. -Pack123
One ways they deter could children from the path of juvenile delinquency is creating more after school programs to occupy the open time they would typically have to get into trouble. They could also enforce more community outreach to help struggling families. Scooby123
This video did a good job at giving the facts for why some children turn out to be a delinquent. IT all depends on how the children are raised and who they are around during their life. Take Peoria for example, Children who grow up in the housing authority are more likely to commit some type of delinquent act. More people who have commited crimes live in the "housing". But children who grow up on Grand View Drive, are more likely to be very successful and become doctors or lawyers, because that is what they are used to. It all depends on how they grow up. Children who grow up in the nicer part of towns are more likely to stay in the same class that they grew up in. Children who have lived in poverty for their whole life are more likely to stay in poverty unless they really try to get out. FBI123
I agree with what you are saying. It's harder for some people to branch out of a bad neighborhood. Some people like to think of it as "well it's possible and that's good enough." but it's very difficult. It is like a vicious cycle that each generation passes onto the next. Cowboy123
I have to agree with this because I think where you grow up and how you grow up are important. Just because you live in the bad neighborhood doesn't mean you are going to be. Maybe there was a different path taken, but they are more likely to commit crimes when they see others doing so or are acquainted with them. CSI 123
The video did a great job showing us the reasons why a child might turn into a delinquent. A lot of children that grow up in bad neighborhoods tend to lean more on the delinquent side. I think bad family situations is one of the biggest reasons. It is easy to act in such a way if they people you are looking at are doing the same thing. I think the limited opportunity is a valid reason for this too. It's easy to turn to a life of crime if you feel hopeless. A lot of kids have to go through a lot in America and we should do more to help so they can have a better chance. Cowboy123
This video shows all the statistics and reason that juveniles become delinquents. Parents and education are two factors that play important roles in a child's life when they are young. When I was young, I found that my father and I didn't agree on things. Obviously because I was the child and he was the adult. But what if I wouldn't have had rules or someone telling that I couldn't go stay at a friend's house tonight because he was just protecting me. And how they chose for me to go to a better school and not fit in with the wrong crowd because 60 percent of juveniles dropped out. I sometimes wonder how different my life would be now if I had participated in everything that was a wrong decision for me. CSI 123
What you are saying is confusing to me. I feel like you didn’t really stay on topic. The story is something in my opinion that is what lost me. The staticitcs are good and useful. I just think you need to convey your message a little better to get the point across. Jfl123
I on the other hand agree with what you are saying. As a child you never want to agree with your parents but later in life when you get older you really do realize they were right. Kids that have parents that let them just go do whatever will be the ones getting into trouble.
This video shows that the people you hangout with have a huge deal of responsibility that they don’t even now they have. Friends help mold you into the person you are and the person you want to be. That’s why peers are so important to have them. Then in return why you have to be a good influence also. Your family can care and love you so much and give you the tools to do the right thing. But if you don’t use them and then become a delinquent child what are you supposed to do especially if you are doing things that break the law with friends. Yes they could stop you from hangout with that group of people but its your choice to do the right thing what every the age adult or juvenile. This is why I think programs that help the kid is more important at a youth’s age then just send him or her to prison. Jfl123
I feel like this is a video that could be played in a school gym or an auditorium for kids leading into junior high or high school. I always say sports saved my life and many of my friends ad I am a firm believer of that. The video stated things about the home life and having too much time. How you come up will obviously play a big role in how you act as you get older. But I feel like kids having too much time on their hands is one of the bigger causes. I feel like this because kids also want to be on the go or are trying to have fun, so if a kid has all this time on their hands and nothing to do, why not spray paint something? Why not take a bike laying in someones yard? If they have nothing to do there is always trouble to find. lilap13
I agree with your statement. I believe that one of the factors you could have mentioned was the drop-out rate. If children are dropping out of school, or just aren't going to school because their parents don't care due to their neglect would cause these children to have more time on their hands. I agree that with more time on their hands, a lack of supervision by parents, and possibly their delinquent friends could cause them to become chronic offenders. Silverado123
This video is a wake-up call for myself. It changed my whole view on what causes a juvenile to become a delinquent. The fact that most factors in delinquency do not involve the child directly, but the situation in which they are raised, as well as other factors. The other factors such as the location in which children were raised make me believe that children don't just become delinquent, they are exposed to factors and situations that cause them to adapt. For instance the fact that many of the children who commit chronic delinquent acts are often abused or neglected. These youths commit the crimes to maybe fit in, prove a point to their parents, or to gain power. The children may also commit these crimes because they need to provide for themselves. It is obviously not morally correct, but if there is no way for the child to survive then they may have to steal or become fraudulent to survive. Finally, the fact that schools can potentially cause delinquency due to its location or lack of federal funding is rather disgusting. If the authorities want to damper delinquency, then they should allot more funding to these underprivileged schools. The authorities could even spend funding on projects that would enhance the environment that these children grow up in. They could pay for more services to help the children, or even improve their environments. Silverado123
I totally agree with everything in this video. Broken homes to me is the main cause of juvenile delinquency. If the household is not going in the right direction, most likely it can cause the teens to behave in a negative way. Neighborhoods is also a main reason why children act up. I seen it personally with bad teens walking up and down the block doing criminal acts, which leads to peer pressure, and causing the good teens to join the bad teens and become criminals. I believe ways to solve these problems is if the household is broken, maybe get the teens involved in after school programs such as the ymca or other sports activities, or if you notice a group of bad teens around the neighborhood, you should try your best to keep your child away, or tell the parents of the juveniles. 23isback
In conclusion the passage did an outstanding job with pointing out all the key factors that cause juvenile delinquency. If you think about it we all play a role in the factors stated. We can all agree and state our opinion but who really cares enough to reach out, speak up, try to make a change by helping out the communities, your community. That alone, you alone can make a difference. We, society can always point out and speak upon the cause and the problem. But it takes an even bigger person or persons(community,government, you) to come up with a working solution and stick to it to help prevent a lot of these things ahead of time before it all leads to committing serious crime. This is definitely a wake up call to all! The next generations to come don't stand a chance if we don't at least try to get a hold of the problem where it starts at home and in the community. So I ask one question with all that's been said? What role do you play or plan to play? Just a bystander or are you willing to actually reach out and help. I personally plan to help the people through human services/social work, helping by simply providing them with resources, programs, and services to help with whatever hardships one may face. Love123
I know that environment plays one of the biggest parts within delinquency. If they see their family member doing it, you know they will try it. If one of their family members are supplying, encouraging, or even showing no sign of sympathy or care in the world towards them. What is going to even attempt to make them want to stop what illegal actions they are doing? I do not think anything, unless they randomly got Jesus in them now. If you surround yourself around people who care and people who are encouraging, these children would not have to resort to what they are doing or lose an opportunity before it is too over to go back.

We can all agree and state our opinion but who really cares enough to reach out, speak up, try to make a change by helping out the communities, your community. That alone, you alone can make a difference. We, society can always point out and speak upon the cause and the problem. But it takes an even bigger person or persons(community,government, you) to come up with a working solution and stick to it to help prevent a lot of these things ahead of time before it all leads to committing serious crime. This is definitely a wake up call to all! The next generations to come don't stand a chance if we don't at least try to get a hold of the problem where it starts at home and in the community. So I ask one question with all that's been said? What role do you play or plan to play? Just a bystander or are you willing to actually reach out and help. I personally plan to help the people through human services/social work, helping by simply providing them with resources, programs, and services to help with whatever hardships one may face. Love123
ReplyDeleteI know that environment plays one of the biggest parts within delinquency. If they see their family member doing it, you know they will try it. If one of their family members are supplying, encouraging, or even showing no sign of sympathy or care in the world towards them. What is going to even attempt to make them want to stop what illegal actions they are doing? I do not think anything, unless they randomly got Jesus in them now. If you surround yourself around people who care and people who are encouraging, these children would not have to resort to what they are doing or lose an opportunity before it is too over to go back.
