Abstract 

Juvenile justice is the process in addressing the legal and judicial impact on offenders under the age of the 18.   As the systemic issues are prevalent in the outcome of the juvenile offenders, it is important to understand the role of the offender and their environment.  This is often what the legal and judicial system uses to make determination to the proper actions necessary to take towards or against the juvenile offender.  This paper will answer the question to what the various factors are effect juvenile delinquency.  Cox et al., (2018) and Sherman and Jacobs (2011) has identified two factors social and physical factors.  More specific negative social and physical factors that effect: family, school and in the community relationships.     

How Various Factors Effect Juvenile Delinquency 

This paper will answer the question to what the various factors are effect juvenile delinquency.  Cox et al., (2018) and Sherman and Jacobs (2011) has identified two factors social and physical factors.  More specific negative social and physical factors that effect: family, school and in the community relationships.  Juvenile justice is the process in addressing the legal and judicial impact on offenders under the age of the 18.  As the systemic issues are prevalent in the outcome of the juvenile offenders, it is important to understand the role of the offender and their environment.  This is often what the legal and judicial system uses to make determination to the proper actions necessary to take towards or against the juvenile offender.   

Research has identified and then defined what these factors are and how they affect the life of juvenile delinquent.  Very simply the negative environment is the scope of the work and focus on the failed impact of the resources and services for these youth.  Where the outcome is juvenile facility or community-based care  in these settings the juvenile can continue to undergo additional factors, such as race, gender disparities or discrimination.  Due to the lack of the legal services in the juvenile justice system the disparities of discrimination in theory pushes the long terms of juvenile delinquency.  Theory shows delinquents failed opportunity to approach systemic process as should be available, leaving disproportionate outcomes in the system around gender and race (Sherman and Jacobs, 2011).   

Policy suggest that a combined effort should be used to address all factors, in doing so the delinquent has the ability to be treated, helped, and cured from criminal behaviors.  The idea that juveniles can cured from the pathology.  And that juvenile are incorrigible and that encouragement molds  positive in the family and the community-based environment.  To reform the negative element to a positive element that will transform the delinquency  The desperate impact on the lives of juveniles has caused attention to be paid to how the known disparities can be diverted and avert any future disparities.  That policy should be open and diverse in structuring programs and the research outcomes although poverty and dysfunction are relative  factors. 

Opposing Veiw Points 

Opposing viewpoints state the assumptions behind the social and the physical effects of delinquency must be addressed.  In such to say that not all financially stressed families delinquent children come from, not all youth who live in single family homes produce delinquents, not all academically challenged youth are criminals.  The most he that speak to the main social concerns of poverty and the family dysfunction under a different methodology and research design  and argue the core factors of poverty and family dysfunction, that the quality of life in and of itself can be positive or negative outcome.  The article by Lanza, S., Cooper, B.R., and Bray, B.C., (2014) found that heterogeneity salience  coefficient was a factor in understanding utility.      

The  social issues that plague delinquency.  The research further supports the opposing view that subgroups exist and these subgroups effect delinquency as well.  Finding that the assumptions from “Standard levels of the Delinquency, Mixture negative Binomial Regression Non-delinquent Low delinquency/ community cohesion risk Low delinquency/ multilevel risk Moderate delinquency/ community, peer, individual risk High delinquency/ school, peer risk,” (p. 323) there was a significant difference within the various effects.   

In a more recent study conducted by Hoffmann, J. P., & Dufur, M. J. (2018) found that understanding the relationship between family and negative and positive social capitol  the actual invested time that he child spends with family.  Not just bonds but the quality of the time spent.  How the measure the value of time and the positive outcome it has on negative delinquency. This opposing viewpoint suggest the bond and the capital are both relevant but that the capital or family values that youth delinquency has,   

“The model was based on a second-order factor analysis, with the three latent variables—maternal warmth, paternal warmth, and school talk—represented in a higher order factor characterizing family social capital. The model fit was good, with an RMSEA of 0.023, a CFI of 0.97, and a WRMR of 2.93. Most of the factor loadings exceeded 0.70, with only the second-order loading for school talk below 0.50.” (p. 1534) 

The study brings together the dual factors  social and physical theory.  The construct allows for bias and missing data, which are relevant in study outcomes to address methodology with weaknesses and use the opposing view point as an opportunity to be improving community based rehabilitation.  

Christian World View 

Religion’s significant impact in the world of the crime unbelievably there are crime organizations that have a religious foundation.  Meaning the purpose of the work was predicated on fulfilling a need in the community especially for young people.  The Dilulio (2009  “charitable choice,” (p. 116) has become the leading political agenda since President Bush (2001), President Clinton (1996) and President Obama (2008, what is not explained is how these groups become gangs and quality of the life continues to fail juveniles. 2nd Kings3:10  “And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab! “King James Bible (KJB, online).   Peace treaty amongst gangs?  Working a range of factors into play   

 Further if to look carefully at the clothing worn by our street gangs you will see red, white, and blue, 1st Peter 3:17 “ For it is better to suffer for doing good if that should be Gods will, that for doing evil.” King James Bible (KJB, online).  The various factors that affect juvenile delinquents the irony in the work is when it is made to work against the policy, and programs implemented by governance and supported in communities. “How, then, to parse competing policy relevant assertions concerning religion and crime? How to begin an intellectual and civic trek toward a more genuinely fact-based approach to thinking about religiosity and faith based programs in relation to crime?” (p. 118)   

Conclusion 

Juvenile delinquency is very serious, as the question of the numerous factors continue to be relative in the systemic process to rehabilitation, treatment and a cure, the most principal issue is to know the social and the physical transformation that needs to be addressed.  Identifying and defining the problems should make for a more proper system.  However, there is still strong discussion and more needs in the system to address the disparities and biases.  The Christian World View should not be irony to a moral life.  Juveniles expectation of the society is seen from the lens they look through, race, gender, and the social class are identifiers in a social construct that play out the roles of society.
