Trends Within Self-Reported Youth
Delinquency
By: Grace Dixon
Juvenile delinquency is behavior on the part of children which may, under the law, subject those children to the juvenile court.
HypothesisThe thought process behind this
particular assignment was focused on determining whether family situation has a strong influence on whether the youth is more likely to become a delinquent. (ex. Whether blended families or perhaps youth with single parents affect the probability of the youth involving themselves in delinquent behavior…)
