Response to Michael Rush Hi Michael. I like your description that family and close peers are the responsible people in the nurturing of juvenile behaviors. Family plays a central role in ensuring that juveniles grow up with the understanding and application of moral values. It cultivates discipline that projects itself in all their aspects of life (Lundman, 2001). In school, juveniles that have a fortified family as background and disciplined peers are bound to achieve more academic success than juveniles from troubled families and associating with rogue peers (de Vries et al., 2018). I also agree with you that family hugely influences juveniles through the protection from adopting retrogressive behaviors that can result in deviance (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020). Parents who do not take critical care of their children can create an environment for juvenile deviance. Your explanation is evidence-based and realistic because these factors are what make the behavioral tendencies of a juvenile.

Response to Crystal Carroll Hi Carroll. I am in total agreement with you that preventing delinquency starts with the family as it is a paramount factor. It is true as evidenced in our families where some people demonstrate some disciplined or deviant behaviors depending on the mannerisms that their parents or guardians taught them (Taylor & Fritsch, 2020). I also concur that peers, the justice system and influence from school are also critical factors that contribute to delinquency. These are truly the principal interactions that juveniles have in their lives and their influence goes a long way into affecting their behavioral traits (de Vries et al., 2018). You explained very well that juveniles that come from families with strong support and moral values are usually well- behaved. However, as identified that peers influence them, then the peers must resemble similar characteristics (Lundman, 2001). Reducing delinquency rates, therefore, is dependent on these factors. Great work buddy.
