Juvenile deliquency

A variety of  individual causes of juvenile delinquency have been presented in the  lesson and readings this week. Some of these causes focus upon personal  characteristics of the juvenile, while others attribute delinquency to  societal causes.

In your initial  response, begin by discussing whether you believe personal or societal  causes have the biggest influence on juvenile delinquency. Next,  identify one specific personal characteristic or societal cause that you  believe most accurately explains decisions to participate in juvenile  delinquency. Briefly defend the personal characteristic or societal  cause you selected by explaining why it is more accurate than other  theories presented this week.

 Initial posts must be a minimum of 350 words not counting the repeating  of the question or reference list, and incorporate material from at  least two (2) cited sources
