Amber Worlton 2/5/2021 Crime and Delinquency Research Paper Proposal Topic Mental illness factors and Juvenile Delinquency:  Correlation between those who have mental illnesses and delinquency o Are kids who have mental illnesses more likely to be delinquents  Do certain mental illnesses always cause delinquency Thesis While some say juvenile delinquents chose to commit a crime, there is a correlation between mental illnesses and adolescent delinquents. Those who suffer with certain mental illnesses are more likely to act out because certain illnesses affect the decision-making part of the brain. Helping adolescents manage their mental illnesses would lower delinquency. Major Points  There is a direct correlation between mental illnesses and juvenile delinquency. o I will use statistics from studies that show the connection between these two things. o I will talk about how common mental illness is to adolescents and how it’s often overlooked due to them being young.  Certain mental illnesses affect the decision-making part of the brain o I will talk about what the main mental illnesses are in adolescent delinquents. o I will go into detail about the mental illnesses and what they are, what part of the brain they affect and what symptoms are present because of them. o I will bring up the argument that people say that these delinquents know what they’re doing and that they can chose to not act on their thoughts.  Helping adolescents manage their mental illnesses would lower delinquency o Therapy being made readily available will allow those who struggle with mental illness to get help. o There should be more resources available in schools as well as prisons o There should also be more resources available to those who are living in poverty

o I also want to talk about current resources there are for adolescents and how it can be expanded. Reliable Sources Book: Hammond, S. (2007). Mental health needs of juvenile offenders .
