Gender and Family
Every family is different when it comes down to environment, financial status, and religious beliefs. The effect and influence younger generation have towards their family and surroundings is everything, especially at such a young age. As youth start looking, learning, and experiencing new and different thing it’s usually done in an environment of family. I remember growing up wanting to do everything my two older brother were doing. I just thought if they were doing it, it has to be cool. In my opinion, I don’t think I was the only one with older brother who thought this way. Sure we first going to school at around 5-6 years of age, but our first real-life learning experiences are from our families.
The way family behavior influences juvenile delinquency can depend on the specific background and the current situation of the family. Of course you can look at a family whose father and two older brother are drug dealers in and out of jail. Clearly this is behavior that could potentially lead to juvenile delinquency for the younger kids in the family. With that being said, what about the family that seems okay from the outside? Then you look under the covers and find a mother or father who is an alcoholic or find a family who is extremely overprotective. Both of these families, though different backgrounds, could potentially create juvenile delinquency because of their family behavior. Most of my friends growing often immediate the actions of their family members whether it was drugs, alcohol, or violence. Unfortunately most of them today still haven’t got out of that life style and are in and out of severing jail time. Is it their fault though? I was fortunate to have older brothers stayed away either making a habit out of it or simply saying no. They were into sports, so I was into sports. They formed a path as I grew up where I was able to learn right from wrong.
