Description

Many children commit various crimes, raising concerns about the role of their home environment in shaping their behavior. Extensive studies have explored the link between children's behavior and their home environment, considering multiple variables that contribute to youth delinquency. Variables such as home stability, single parent homes, abuse, high school dropouts, and low income houses were used in this study. Using these factors to find out whether there is an association between juvenile delinquency including breaking in to steal, selling marijuana, and beating someone up to serious injury. This study will show various theories that support the link between a child's home environment and youth delinquency. We used the Pathways to Desistance data of youth offenders to take these factors into account and to see if there is any association between the participants' home environment and their delinquent behavior.
