STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: Juvenile delinquency
Juvenile delinquency is widespread everywhere, without distinction of areas.
social, city or country, therefore our research will be oriented to define
the causes or sources that influence or lead a young person to become
delinquent.
The increase of young people joining a gang every day is rising, and
As a consequence of this, the bands have an increase, the television and
part of the mass media influences young people, as
they imitate the cultures of young people from developed countries. In addition to this, problems
personal, family, social, economic, and above all the lack of
opportunity for education for young people who are willing to try against their
person, using drugs, alcohol, committing felonies, misdemeanors, and
above all the moral damage they cause to their parents is great. The great
the existing cohesion, which keeps these bands together, represents a study
due to various factors such as the search for understanding, feeling
appreciated, social, psychological, and natural factors.
The perspective of psychosocial risk enables the analysis of both the characteristics
of the immediate or distant environment such as personal characteristics that
they increase the likelihood that young people will exhibit difficulties in their
development. It also allows studying how various variables, (among
the influence of peers, the characteristics of the family, the community and
culture) interact with individual vulnerabilities (for example, the
cognitive characteristics, temperamental), raising awareness among people
to certain risks.
Due to this, this approach emphasizes the need to analyze how
various risk factors interact in the generation of phenomena such as the
delinquency led by young people. This approach, in addition to highlighting
perspective the joint influence of macrosocial and individual variables,
rescues the abilities of many young people who, despite the adversities that
they face, manage to develop life trajectories that do not manifest this type
of problems.
It is very important to be cautious in the matter, as knowing the factors of
the risks to which a child or young person is exposed do not produce total certainty of
that the expected development of the young person is altered; rather, it helps to
estimate the probability of this happening. Consider a probability as
a certainty in matters of social prevention is a serious mistake, as it is known
that a child or young person can coexist with all possible risk factors, and,
however, do not externalize risky behaviors.

Children and adolescents who engage in criminal acts can be distinguished
in ages ranging from 9 to 17 years old.
There are various causes that lead children and adolescents to induce themselves into
this world, can be organic, physiological, pathological, external influence
like in the environment in which the first years of their life develop, lack of
affection and attention from parents or simply poor guidance.
On the other hand, it is important to know about the reasons that lead to
these young people act in such a way, there are those who think that young people
they reveal as a way to seek attention or feel important in front of the
society, but the reality is that there are many significant factors that
lead adolescents to commit vandalism.
The adolescents who commit acts outside the imposed statutes outside of
society is a problem that becomes more troubling every day, the
statistics indicate figures in constant progression. The age of the young
tends to decrease more and increases towards adolescents.
In light of criminology, children and adolescents who are immersed in the
the phenomenon of delinquency has increased in recent times becoming a
a problem that increasingly generates greater social concern, both due to its
quantitative increase as its progressive qualitative danger.
