Delinquency and Social Bonds


Delinquency and Social Bonds

  1. The Social Bond Theory has much to do with juveniles and how they act today. If a child is loved by their parents, then he or she is much less likely to be "screwed up" by exposure to the outside world. On the other hand, if a child isn't being showed love by their parents, then they are more susceptible to being shaped by the outer world. It is proven that if a juvenile has a strong bond with their parents, they will turn out far better than a peer without loving parents. There have been exceptions to this, but for the most part relationships are vital in an adolescents development. I'm sure many of us can testify to our upbringings and how they affected us, either for good or for worse. If more parents were involved in their kids life today, I believe we would see a detrimental decrease in juvenile delinquency. BenRoethlisberger123

    1. I hear this all the time that a child needs love at home so they wont seek else where for it and its not the love they once wanted but it fills the whole in their heart. For example when young girls don't grow up with a father they go out with lots of man. They never settle down and if they do they are victims of abuse.MotherOf4123

  2. It is a good theory to think and it does apply somewhat to kids growing up. I do believe its true that a child who has parents who are supportive and actually involve them selves with the growing up of their child. For example teaching your kids the wrong from right and putting them in place if they act up or being supportive of them when they do something right. But for parents it can be hard being involved in their life 24/7 when now a days both parents are working so the kid is being probably watched by a babysitter or a older sibling maybe even them selves. So that gives them the time to try and learn things without knowing right or wrong.

    1. Having parents that are supportive is the best thing that can happen to a child. Those parents actually care about what their child is doing, who they are with, and they make sure that their child is making the best choices. On the other hand, the children who are watched by a babysitter, or siblings for most of the time, they have to decide what is right and wrong.

  3. The social bond theory can go way back. No matter how old someone is this theory can be applied. Its what you surround yourself with and focus on day in and day out. Some other examples of a bad social bond would be, doing drugs with friends, ignoring your parents, not having parents that are involved. Other examples of a good social bond would be going and playing baseball with your dad, going hunting, or playing a sport. If a sponge is put in nasty water it will become nasty, if a sponge was put in clean water the sponge would be clean. This can be applied to someones life and what they surround themselves with.

  4. The Social Bond Theory is pretty much how you were raised. If your parents love you and help to teach you things, you are more likely to not become a deviant. If you were raised in a broken house with a parent or parents that did not care what you did or when you did anything, you are more likely to become a deviant. Bad social bonds would be having friends that did drugs or never came to school. You would be more likely to do the drugs and not come to school just like them. If you never came to school, you would not have good grades. If you had friends that were in sports or in clubs, you would be more likely to be in the sports and clubs. In order to be in those clubs or sports, you have to get good grades.

    1. The social bond theory can also explain how a child will turn out. I agree with everything you said here, if only more people had stronger bonds with some kind of role model. Having a role model can be the difference for a juveniles life. It can impact them in such a great way, yet so many adolescents don't have these in their lives. BenRoethlisberger123

    2. What you said is correct but I would you should not just use examples and maybe define the word. When you define the word you are showing what is not deviant and what is. Besides that you did a good job telling us what your point is.

    3. Very true as it all starts out by growing up and picking and choosing the small decisions. Having a GOOD role model is crucial as you have a mindset of wanting to be like them. When you want to be like someone, you tend to be on your best behavior and want success like they do. Being involved is also a big factor as time spent there is less time spent doing deviant things. It helps to grow a passion and a love for an art, sport, etc. Being in sports, you have to keep your grades up and good or you will not be allowed to play. Normally if you are in a sport, your grades are very well as they hold to a standard and rules if you would like to play versus someone who just attends school and is content with d's and f's. Me and you definitely had the same idea of what social bond theory is.

  5. This video speaks about the social bond theory. Which states and explains why relationships are such a key factor in someone becoming deviant or a criminal. There are a few things that make up social bond theory and they are why people do things and the broken bond, which allows a person to consciously do things that are defined as wrong in the society’s view. The first thing can be said to show what a conventional person would do. Those things are internalized norms the consistence of a person and the desire of approval from others. These are the things that make or show it ok to do deviant things. When there is not good influence in the relationships of juveniles or really all people. When broken bond occurs it frees that person. That can be broken down into four main sections that negatively influence a person and they are attachment, involvement, belief, and commitment. And those are bad because it makes people feel like they should become deviant or do crimes.

  6. The social bond theory is exactly how it sounds. It involves a connection between a child and a parent or someone who is important in their life. The four elements to the social bond theory are belief, attachment, commitment, and involvement. As they were described in the video, kids are more likely to become juveniles because those elements are nonexistent. It is harder for a child to become immersed in crime, if they have the proper upbringing. In the video, I found that it showed if the parent has more positive things to say to a child, you will have a better outcome of how the child responds to their elders. If the parents are more negative to their child, then the child is more likely to rebel or be hard to handle. CSI 123

    1. I agree completely. This video kind of makes us respect the kids that come from such bad homes but still manage to stay stable in social situations and be able to help better themselves in school. I think the biggest thing a child depends on is his parents and that can make somebody or break somebody in a lot of situations and that is something that our system can't really fix unfortunately.

    2. You explained social bond theory very well in your response to the video. I agree with everything you said. With a good upbringing they are much less likely to be delinquent or criminals. It makes complete sense that parents are an important source of these "bonds" and have an important mission to bring there children up as best as possible.

  7. Social bond theory is exactly what I preach to all my younger friends or people who need help who are going in the wrong path. I always push my younger friends in high school to join a sport. Some people say why should I do that? That's a waste of time! I always let them know that the reason I push people to join a sport is because if you grow up with a passion for something, you are in love with the idea of growing skills on a field or a court! Growing skills and bettering yourself at a sport takes time. When time is used on a court or field, there is a less time for you to be doing no good. Also you begin to grow a different respect other than you parents. You grow to respect an authority figure that is not your parent. All I learned in high school has taught me real world skills. I had caring and loving parents who trusted me and had specific rules. I grew to respect them and follow what they say. In school I respected teachers, staff and my peers. The result of that was I had so much help from teachers when it came to apply to colleges and had connections. Respecting all my peers resulted me into having many friends and acquaintances. Then I played Basketball, Soccer and Rugby in high school. I always wanted to better myself in each of those sports when I played so I was constantly working on my game and put in many hours in. I had no time to go and do deviant or wrong things. I grew to have goals and investments which gave me a mindset in wanting to be successful and not let anything ruin that. Its all building blocks but always will have a connection to each other.

  8. I thought this was a very good video. It breaks it down to show the influence your peers and community can have on you. Some people are raised with parents who do not care for much so it can rub off on them and be the cycle of the next generation. Also, the community can play a big part especially when it comes to friends. I like to think that I am from an area where I saw most of the positive sides of things. I have a good relationship with my parents, I played sports and was involved in the community. However, I remember a few kids at my school did not have it that easy. Some of them came from homes with disfunctional parents and siblings. Those were the same kids that would not conform to extra carriculars and would tend to act out at school. Having a negative family situation can make that big of a difference. Cowboy123

  9. The Social Bond Theory could be the reason juveniles are delinquent. It depends on if they have other positive people in their lives. Humans behave conventionally due to the power of internalized norms..Conscience desire for approval. When the bond breaks between an individual and their parents or guardian they become free to engaged in deviant and or criminal activity. This is a proven fact. If you let a child sit and think of things to do they start to try dangerous things that may cause harm to someone or themselves. The four major elements are attachment which is emotional bond between the parent and child. A child always want to feel loved by their family and friends. If not they can go and seek it in the wrong places and that can lead to status offense or later on in life criminal behavior. Commitment is the time invested in the society. There are after school activities such as the Boys and Girls club that help child be involved in their community. Involvement the time spent with activity. When out with a child the parent should be paying attention not on the phone and doing other things. Belief respect for authorities by submitting to authorities. Taking advantage of the police and what they are here for. Protect and serve.MotherOf4123

  10. Social bond theory is a great theory in my opinion, and this video did a fantastic job of illustrating this theory. Anyone who conforms with society is much less likely to commit crime or become delinquent. With social bonds people may feel more attached to their family, community or society. If those without these bonds grow up in this way are more likely to not conform. It is a great example of nature versus nurture. If someone is not nurtured the best they possibly could be they would grow up to become a delinquent or eventually a criminal. The more someone conforms with society and spends time caring for themselves and society they would grow up to be model citizens. This is a great theory.
