Problem
In the final chapter of required reading from your text, the authors provide a multitude of different theoretical explanations for juvenile delinquency. These theoretical explanations not only attempt to identify why this behavior exists, but it also tends to be prescriptive for public policy responses on how to handle juvenile offenders.
Choose one (or more if you prefer) theoretical explanations of juvenile delinquency that makes the most sense to you and explain the elements of theory as it attempts to explain delinquency. What are the policy implications of this theory for juvenile delinquency? What are some of the suggestions/prescriptions for how to handle juveniles who deviate into crime according to this theory?
