Abstract: Youth and crime is not a new phenomenon. In the past as well as in the present day in societies, there have been always a good number of crime cases found like murder, theft, sexual involvement , kidnapping , robbery , attempt to murder, cheating etc where the youth are involved . Nevertheless, in the present day if we observe the crime data, the rate of youth involving in crime is increasing very fast. The attitude of youth towards crime is also different from each other. In the transitional period childhood to adolescence and adolescence to maturity, youth is generally faced the different socio-economic crises. Recent work on the relationship between youth violence and crime and its outcomes can be viewed as an adaptive strategy that seeks to order risky and impulsive environments in the society. Many violent upheavals of youth personalities are thus to be expected in the transitional period. So the youth can also be considered as one aspect of crime. In this present study, an attempt has been made to study the different risk factors responsible for criminal behaviors of youth. The work also tried to analyze the developed criminal attitudes of youths and major risk factors of crime.
