The Importance of Prevention Programs for Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile delinquency is a public health issue that affects everyone in the community. Delinquent behavior can lead to dropping out of school, teen pregnancy, and substance abuse. Without the right guidance, juvenile delinquency can progress into more serious crimes and continue into adulthood with serious consequences. Environment, family structure, peer pressure and mental health disorders are factors that have been linked to the cause of juvenile delinquency. Studies have shown that prevention programs that focus on the entire family have been successful in keeping children from crossing the line between good and bad behavior and can prevent recidivism in children who have already crossed that line. When communities come together and invest their time and money in prevention programs, it is and investment that benefits everyone. Tlb7362 (talk) 05:59, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
