John Doe, who was recommended by a foster home where other young delinquents live, is an unmanageable thirteen-year-old boy. In recent weeks, John Doe has committed a wide variety of criminal activities: thefts, vandalism, bullying and attempting to kill his mother. John Doe's mother says it was manageable when her father, who had committed domestic violence against her, was home. When John Doe was eight years old, his delinquent behavior began with the theft of a cassette player from an electronics store (Santrock, JW 2012). Like John Doe, many teenagers engage in juvenile delinquency or simply misbehave. For example, in 1999, the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) states that 16% of all people arrested for committing violent crimes were under the age of eighteen. Additionally, 32% of all property crimes committed were committed by juveniles (Snyder, HN 2001). It is therefore a serious problem that should be prevented during childhood and/or intervened through planned mental health treatment taking into account biopsychosocial risk factors. In criminology, juvenile delinquency is used to describe socially unacceptable behaviors, criminal acts, and criminal acts. status crimes. The law establishes that to be considered a minor you must be of a certain age. These ages vary from state to state, but nearly three-quarters of the states in the United States have set eighteen as the age limit (Santrock, J.W. 2012). Even if for the slightest time in their lives all adolescents behave in harmful or unmanageable ways, the label “delinquent” is exclusive to those who commit criminal acts. Otherwise, children who misbehave are diagnosed with conduct disorder. The hallmark of juvenile delinquency… half of the paper… Additionally, this treatment works closely with adolescents to teach them behavioral skills within their community (Mental Health 2004). In conclusion, juvenile delinquency or antisocial behavior of adolescents is a serious problem that should be prevented during childhood and/or intervened through planned mental health treatment taking into account biopsychosocial risk factors. These factors do not work alone. This means that the interaction of several biopsychosocial factors is necessary for an adolescent to become antisocial. Furthermore, if a teenager exhibits some of these factors, it does not mean that he will become a delinquent. It is only a correlation, but knowledge of these factors is very important for mental health professionals to be able to offer effective treatment which may be different for each of their young patients with problems..
