	About Juvenile Delinquents - What is Juvenile Delinquency
		The prevention of delinquency requires identifying at-risk individuals and their environments before delinquent activity and behavior occur, and then removing such risk factors or strengthening resistance to the risk factors already present.
		If your child is overtly defiant to authority figures, lying, exhibiting aggressive behavior, you may be headed for trouble.
		These are some of the common symptoms of the onset of Juvenile Delinquency.

		The purpose of the study was to investigate the dynamics of family functioning between delinquent and non-delinquent subjects.
		Work on family functioning using other special groups in the UAE, such as delinquents and non-delinquents appears to be lacking; therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of family functioning among delinquents and non-delinquents in the UAE society.
		Delinquent subjects were enrolled at the time of this study in rehabilitation and correctional institutions.

	Delinquents or Criminals?: Policy Options for Young Offenders
		Abolishing the concept of delinquency is not the same thing as abolishing the entire juvenile court.
		Abolition of the delinquency jurisdiction would not require that all young offenders be sent to adult prison.
		Abolitionists recommend simply doing away with the concept of delinquency, but absent significant reforms this could mean sending very young offenders to the same criminal courts officials routinely criticize as ineffective and reluctant to act.

	"You Are What You Eat: Study of Delinquents: A Psychobiological Study of Delinquents"
		Eleven per cent of the delinquents were low in 17-OH steroids, 72 % were low in 17-ketosteroids, 22% were low in creatinine and 62% of the boys were low in testosterone (10% of the girls).
		The delinquents are much more reactive than other subjects to injections of allergens into the skin when compared to controls; and they demonstrate a number of metabolic characteristics associated with immune deficiencies.
		These facts suggest that delinquents are at high risk for unusual CNS development, CNS damage, poor continuing synthesis of CNS amino acids and neural transmitters, and are extremely vulnerable to derangements of the immune and allergy systems.

	Binomial Distribution: Example #2
		Problem Description: The proportion of juvenile delinquents who wear glasses is known to be 0.2 whereas the proportion of non-delinquents wearing glasses is 0.6.
		The binomial standard deviation for delinquents is Sqrt(15 x 0.2 x 0.8) = 1.549 and the standard deviation for non-delinquents is 20 x 0.6 x 0.4 = 2.191.
		The median is 12 (equal to the mean) and the lower and upper quantiles are 11 and 14, respectively.

	Protecting Our Health: Lead levels and delinquent behavior
		Controls were evaluated using a questionnaire designed to eliminate "true delinquents" from the control group who engaged in behaviors similar to the delinquents but somehow simply not been arrested.
		Those delinquents who display anti-social behavior early in life persist in their behavior, while those who start later tend to give it up in their late teens.
		As a result, the pool of delinquent fl subjects include a larger proportion of teenagers whose delinquency was facilitated by non-lead factors.

	E. H. Sutherland: Social Attitudes: "Mental Deficiency and Crime" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Table I is a compilation of all accessible reports of psychometric tests of delinquents from 1910 to 1928, with the exception of a small number of studies in which the delinquents tested were clearly not a representative sample of the institutional groups from which they were taken.
		Moreover, Goddard stated that a diagnosis of feeblemindedness "fully explains any delinquency of which the child has been guilty." In accordance with that proposition many of the early testers, after finding 50 per cent of the delinquents tested feebleminded, concluded that feeblemindedness was the cause of 5o per cent of all delinquency and crime.
		A second reason for discounting the early conclusion regarding the importance of feeblemindedness as a cause of delinquency is that the delinquents who have been tested are always a selected portion of the entire delinquent population and are probably selected partly because of their feeblemindedness.

		She said she wants to cut the already low delinquency rate further with a soon-to-be-installed $1 million software system to keep track of residents' whereabouts by more quickly updating current addresses.
		Until Wood's appointment, the legal counsel in the office, John P. Mulvee, was serving as acting jury commissioner, in addition to pursuing delinquents.
		Even before the delinquent program was launched, Massachusetts had done a good job ensuring juror participation by making jury duty as palatable as possible, Munsterman said.

	Deviance 4 - characteristics of delinquents
		If we study the characteristics of those processed by control agencies, and if we accept that they are representative of all delinquents, we may conclude that the typical juvenile delinquent is different from his peers in a number of ways.
		Most of the subjects started their delinquent activities at the age of 11 or 12, and continued for roughly 8 years, although some of them went on for over 12 years.
		The youth who begins a delinquent career in midadolescence may rapidly commit a large number of offences, but does not continue for a very long time.

	DVD.net : The Delinquents - DVD Review
		Set in 1957, The Delinquents tells the story of star crossed lovers, Lola and Brownie (Minogue and Schlatter) whose forbidden romance is torn apart by their parents and society.
		The Delinquents is surprisingly well written and does offer some genuinely sweet moments, but above all this film is about Minogue and she looks appropriately innocence and gorgeous and actually manages to offer one or two credible acting moments throughout the film.
		The Delinquents is presented in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and is 16.9 enhanced.

	www.ncjfcj.org - Child Delinquents
		The number of child delinquents (juveniles between the ages of 7 and 12) handled in the nation’s juvenile courts has increased 33 percent over the last decade.
		Child delinquents are two to three times more likely to become serious, violent, and chronic offenders than adolescents whose delinquent before begins in their teens.
		Because these problems may be predictive of delinquency, violence, and other antisocial behavior, escalating aggression in preschool and elementary school children is a particular cause for concern.

		Juvenile Courts identify youth who exhibit behavior that places them at risk of becoming juvenile delinquents or who are returning from correctional facilities.
		As youth are engaged in positive social and educational activities, additional services such as counseling and links to community resources also are provided for their families.

	H-Net Review: Janet Miron on Delinquents and Debutantes: Twentieth-Century American Girls' Cultures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Whereas the analysis of male delinquency was dominated by sociologists and criminologists, female juvenile delinquency became almost the exclusive domain of psychoanalysists.
		Emphasizing the threats rebellious girls posed to "the family" and, by extension, to the social order of post-war America, psychoanalysists claimed the origins of female crime could be located within the father-daughter relationship, a relationship that was often plagued by supposedly class-specific problems.
		Middle-class fathers of delinquents were weak and apathetic, whereas working-class fathers were invariably absent--and these psychoanalytic notions began to be reflected in mass media forms, such as films and popular magazines.

	Arkansas IMC: Schools producing juvenile delinquents
		Now, the school district, methodically, is taking this campus away from them and stigmatizing them completely, throwing these different hands-on learners in with students who have been expelled, who are on probation, who have every kind of behavior problem.
		Being a hands-on learner is not a behavior problem!!!It is not a form of juvenile delinquency until the school district's neglect makes it so.
		However, this Technical School is in the process of being taken over by NWACC through months-long secret negotiations, which will be sprung on us citizens as a done deal, as are all school district decisions.

	Industrial delinquents destroying environment - PittsburghLIVE.com
		It is a fact in history that the legislators in our governments have been soft on industry, leaving them with the freedom to do as they pleased.
		These "Industrial Delinquents" polluted the air we breathe (as in Donora) polluted the water we drink (for example mine acid and coal washings as in Pigeon Creek) and then they dumped mountains of obnoxious, stinking mine refuse into our beautiful community (as for example, the slate dumps).
		After they mined out all the coal, then the mine owners just walked away with no clean-up of the stinking, ugly hazardous mess they made.

	The Delinquents (1957) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		THE DELINQUENTS was shot on location in Kansas City in two weeks in the summer of 1955 and edited in Hollywood (at Altman's insistence).
		The plot of THE DELINQUENTS goes something like this: Scotty White (played by Hollywood actor Tom Laughlin, who went on to play Billy Jack) is forbidden to see his sweetheart, Janice Wilson.
		The narration is annoying, the plot is predictable, and there are several editing mistakes (one of the gang members says the same line twice, in two different shots).

	Journal of Correctional Education: Opinions of Female Juvenile Delinquents About Their Interactions in Chat Rooms
		Even though study findings are considered preliminary, suggestions are offered for correctional educators to warn adolescents of the potential dangers of online chat room conversations.
		A high prevalence of communication problems (24 to 84%) among juvenile delinquents has been well documented over the past thirty years (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 1995; Sanger, 1999; Sanger, Moore-Brown, Magnuson, & Svoboda, 2001).
		According to prevalence statistics in the genera] population, youth who are incarcerated are three times as likely to have communication and language problems compared to their peers (Larson 9 McKinley, 2003).
