Violent Juvenile Offenders Prevention Programs
Abstract
Juvenile offenders have flooded the juvenile facilities, and as a result juveniles are being housed in local county jails. One reason for the increase in the number of juvenile offenders is the failure of lawmakers in DeKalb County, Georgia, to find ways to mitigate the crimes these juveniles are committing. Juvenile crime stems from many factors, including lack of good parental guidance, truancy, and running away from home. Subsequently these teens become involved with the wrong individuals, potentially become dropouts, and are susceptible to becoming potential juvenile offenders. Many complex factors influence the problem of crimes committed by teens; however, there are viable and comprehensive solutions to the challenges. Because of the serious nature of juveniles crimes , lawmakers are seeking unprecedented ways to combat the increasing threat throughout the community.
