INTRODUCTION
Background of the study
The issue of juvenile delinquency has been a recurring worry in society, prompting inquiries into
the elements that contribute to the engagement of young people in criminal activities. It is essential to
comprehend these elements in order to create preventative and intervention plans that work. The
purpose of this study is to investigate and evaluate the various factors that lead to juvenile delinquency.
Statement of the Problem
Communities and the criminal justice system are facing serious challenges as a result of the
increase in juvenile delinquency. Even with all of the efforts made to address this problem, a thorough
investigation into the different elements that contribute to juvenile delinquency is still necessary. The
purpose of this study is to better understand the underlying causes of youth engagement in criminal
conduct by identifying and analyzing these elements.
Theoretical and Conceptual Framework
According to Cloward and Ohlin, three types of responses predominate, each of which gives rise
to a distinct subculture: a stable criminal subculture, a conflict subculture, and a retreatist subculture.
More chances for success, according to Cloward and Ohlin, would discourage juveniles from looking to
subculture groups for approval. Differential opportunity theory also suggests that, aside from social
factors, there might be other factors that lead to a juvenile's delinquency. For instance, the hypothesis
suggests that a young person may do well academically but have difficulty finding profitable
employment. A young person may turn delinquent if they are unable to obtain lucrative employment. It
therefore transcends social factors
Objective of the study
1. to determine which socioeconomic variables lead to adolescent criminality.
2. to investigate how family dynamics contribute to the emergence of delinquent conduct.
3. to evaluate how peer pressure affects young people’s engagement in criminal activity.
4. to investigate the relationship between schooling and adolescent criminality.
5. to look at how neighborhood and community characteristics affect the likelihood of adolescent
misbehavior.
Significance of the study
This study is important because it adds to the corpus of knowledge already in existence by
offering a sophisticated understanding of the variables driving adolescent criminality. The results of this
study can help design focused treatments, laws, and initiatives that successfully prevent and deal with
juvenile delinquency.
Limitations of the study

The scope of this study is limited to Tabaco City, which may limit the applicability of the findings
in other situations. Furthermore, biases in self-reported information as well as data accuracy and
availability issues could lead to restrictions.
Definition of terms
Juvenile Delinquency: Denotes a minor’s involvement in unlawful conduct or activities.
Socio-economic Factors: Consists of resources available, employment prospects, and economic standing.
Family Dynamics: Covers parenting philosophies, family dynamics, and family structure.
Peer Influence: The way that friends and peer groups affect a person’s actions.
Educational Experiences: Covers academic achievement, school climate, and the standard of instruction.
Neighborhood and neighborhood Factors: Discusses the social and environmental aspects of the
neighborhood that may have a role in delinquency.
CHAPTER 2:
The primary goal of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006, also known as Republic Act 9344,
is to promote the safety of society as a whole, not just children. For this reason, rehabilitation is given
priority over imprisonment (Oco, 2016).
According to Singh (n.d), A child breaking the law is referred to as juvenile delinquency.
Delinquency is defined as criminal activity and antisocial behavior by someone who is not an adult and is
younger than 18 years old. Another name for juvenile delinquency is delinquency. A person’s antisocial
and illegal behavior can be classified as a crime once they reach adulthood. Juvenile delinquency, then, is
the child and adolescent equivalent of crime.
Legal statutes that also apply to adults in the criminal justice system are broken by delinquent
offenses. Delinquent offenses include murder, rape, armed robbery, simple and aggravated assault,
harassment, stalking, menacing, child abuse, and other similar offenses that fall under the category of
acts of violence. Property crimes such as car theft, burglary, theft or larceny, arson, property damage,
criminal mischief, vandalism, and others are considered delinquent offenses. Juvenile delinquency is a
serious issue that impacts not just the victims of the offenders but also the juvenile offenders, their
families, and the community at large. Even though juvenile offenders are incapable of foreseeing the
consequences of their actions on their own, these crimes have a negative impact on them.
• With that ,Papaioannou(2017) states that people describe poverty as the main root why there are
numerous street crimes most
Commonly theft, robbery and etc. committed around the world. Nevertheless,
When considering the wider picture, we will see that certain children are involved in
Criminal activity.
• Hence, aggressive traits in teenagers with Borderline Personality Disorder may contribute to juvenile
delinquency (Panda, T., & Gite, M., 2019).
• Murdoch-Verwijs (2010) states that when children are involved in legal disputes, we are dealing with
minors.
Who had a rough upbringing and found it difficult to accept their circumstances and experiences.
Article 4 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights asserts that the state has the obligation.
Of the Child to defend all children and ensure that the Convention’s rights are implemented.
• Moriarity, R. (2014) states that By aiding state and local governments and enhancing the juvenile
justice system through four key provisions, thus the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act
seeks to deter and control juvenile delinquency.

• According to Clingan P. (2021), Evidence-based interventions and early education programs can
reduce the risk of juvenile delinquency by addressing age, non-parent-child attachment, and object
factors.
• In addition, Effective juvenile delinquency treatment also requires multifaceted, culturally sensitive,
systemic approaches that address factors like developmental, gender, and environmental factors (W.
Hinton ,n.d)
CHAPTER 3:
Research Design
We will be conducting an in-depth interviews and observations with juvenile offenders, their
families,and teachers. Explore personal experiences, perceptions, and contextual factors contributing to
delinquent behavior.
