research paper

Research the relationship between delinquent behavior and your assigned topic area (school), including how best to address risk, protective, and promotive factors, in order to report the results of your research (5-6 page paper) and the class (2 page information sheet or infographic).

Questions the project will address: What causes delinquency and how can we best prevent it? What factors increase the risk of becoming involved in delinquency? What factors reduce the risk? What types of programs are most effective in preventing delinquency? When youth commit delinquent acts, what is the most effective way to prevent recidivism? How do we reduce the number of cases like Jonathan McClard’s?
