Group Homes and Juvenile Delinquency
[ send me this paper ]
A 30 page overview of the problems confronting us in regard to effectively addressing the growing problem of juvenile delinquency. While many interventions have been attempted in addressing this problem, no one solution has been identified. Group homes do offer a potential solution. The past record of group homes, however, is not that complimentary as to their effectiveness. Part of this record lies in the fact that insufficient records have been maintained which can be used as a source for intensive research targeting the delineation of successes verses failures. By reviewing the literature on the various interventions which have proven successful, however, we can potentially redesign the group home environment so that it is more successful in addressing the problem of juvenile delinquency.

Illiteracy And Juvenile Delinquency
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The notion that illiteracy is directly associated with the incidence of juvenile delinquency has received significant consideration within the psychological and educational communities. Clearly, if an individual does not possess the ability to read or write, the mere act of obtaining – much less advancing in – a good job is out of reach. Additionally, the basics of life represent the utmost frustration and anger, such as understanding simple directions or being self-motivated, which ultimately leads to a significant sense of failure. Combine that with the social stigma inherently associated with illiteracy, and this creates one considerably maladjusted youth whose inability to read and write breeds hopelessness and juvenile delinquency. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
