ABSTRACT:
12 pages in length. Figuring out what makes people commit crimes has been the focus for ages of civilized societies. From the ancient Greeks who first introduced the concept of law to the twenty-first century, myriad theories have been developed as a way in which to explain how and why some people fall into criminal behavior. One of the most common threads to appear is how much impact family relations has upon whether or not adolescents become criminally active. Indeed, familial structure has undergone a tremendous shift over the past half century as mothers went to work, fathers held two jobs and children were left to learn right and wrong from the television. Abuse, neglect and incompetent parenting methods represent several significant reasons why adolescents may be pushed toward criminal activity. Even religion can cultivate intensely conflicting emotions that drive juveniles to crime. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
