Three Categories Of Juvenile Behavior
Homework Assignment 1 The three categories of juvenile behavior in which the juvenile court has jurisdiction is neglect, delinquency and dependency. These factors consists of where the courts may interne as a youth commits an act or when he or she commits an certain offense, or when cases involve an dependency neglect. The first factor is delinquency where a child could be anti-social or some type of conduct that is not acceptable by law. For an example, Mark is 17 and does not like being around people and prefers to be alone so he has become anti-social and his conduct at school is very verbal and abrasive, plus he is cutting class at school to drive around town without having a licenses which is contracting to a sign that he is being
delinquent. The second factor is dependency is a where children are taken from their parents care and supervision, plus placed with the court. In most court jurisdiction hearings for juveniles if they commit certain crimes then a judge may decide that any allegations are true containing to what is charged to the parent then the child is token from the home. The judge then predicts or says the child is not safe then the child is a dependent of the court. So, at this time your child has become part of the system. The judge orders can make decisions about your child’s care. Even if the judge decides the allegations are a true then the case will be dismissed and they are out of the juvenile court system. If not dismissed then another hearing will take place and so forth. The third factor is neglect which is failing to do something that is required, but for an example like educational neglect is where a parent does not keep the child enrolled in school or lets them not go to school. The juvenile jurisdiction or courts states that a child that is abandoned and is without proper care, attention, emotional or physical abuse is in the home then the child is token from home and parent is petitioned to court. Parents of the children in most cases will be named in a petition. Other factors that might lead a juvenile into contusing into adulthood for criminal behavior would be personality disorders and environmental influences. I think personality disorders would be in young children before growing up like being anti-social with argumentive behavior. This might lead into adulthood which causes them to lie and steal, engage into substance abuse. Aggressive behavior in the home where a child is brought up in an environment where’s there’s aggressive behavior like shouting and yelling can lead to criminal behavior into adulthood. I think environmental factors also lead to the upbringing of the child and if there’s problems in the home where the child resist then the child suffers from emotional abuse along with physical abuse. Also, drugs in the home where a child lives often lean towards a child using drugs later on in life, because if a parent uses drugs then a child might grow up learning that behavior. These are really some of risk factors that lead up to criminal behavior.
