There are multiple reasons to prevent juveniles from becoming
delinquent or continuing to engage in delinquent behaviour. The
most obvious reason is that delinquency puts youth at risk for
substance abuse and delinquency, school drop-out, gang involvement,
criminality, and mental health challenges. Youth engaging in
delinquent behaviours are also vulnerable to physical injury, early
pregnancy, domestic violence and sexual assault. To address issues
of juvenile delinquency, this book describes various youth and
family risk and protective factors associated with delinquency and
provides a description of various family-oriented treatment options
for preventing and treating youth violence and aggression. The
authors also examine how sociometric status influences childhood
bullying, aggressive behaviour and victimisation. Special attention
is given to the affect of sociometric neglect and rejection on
child development. In addition, this book summarises the
transformation of youth gangs and violence associated with them,
the basis of interventions to reduce youth gang affiliation and
aggression in these different eras. To conclude, implications for
the prevention and treatment of juvenile crime are presented, as
well as recommendations for extinguishing violent and aggressive
beliefs and behaviours in children.
