Lack of education. During the interviews the lack of education was mentioned in the context of education at univer- sities, and not in the contact of education at an organisation. Education aims to equip people with a range of competencies
Lack of education. Juvenile delinquency can be prevented in large part by education, which is also crucial for societal crime prevention. According to studies, students who struggle academically are more prone to engage in antisocial behavior. Low academic achievement predicts juvenile criminality, according to the Pittsburgh Youth Study and the Cambridge Study on Delinquent Development (Maguin and Xxxxxx, 1996). “You lemme catch you fooling around that school again, you hear? Your mother couldn’t read, and she couldn’t write, nuther, before she died. None of the family couldn’t before they died. I can’t; and here you’re a-swelling yourself up like this.” (Xxxx Xxxxx, 1884, p.21). Pap forbids Huck to go to school and confirms to Huck that no one in his family has ever attended school. This quote explains that Xxx also never went to school. The vast majority of juvenile offenders had illiterate parents. Sometimes poor company and the circumstances around them encourage young people to act out. They are too young to comprehend the long-lasting effects of their actions. Because of the bad company, young people have been known to use drugs, visit brothels, and engage in other illicit activities (Khudrat, K., 2019) “I had been to school most all the time and could spell and read and write just a little, and could say the multiplication table up to six times seven is thirty-five, and I don’t reckon I could ever get any further than that if I was to live forever. I don’t take no stock in mathematics, anyway.” (p. 16) Xxxx still struggles with memorizing arithmetic, as evidenced by the aforementioned quote. He said that he wouldn't be able to learn the following multiplications. According to a study, the majority of delinquency are illiterate or have low levels of education, which supports the idea that education plays a crucial role in fostering awareness and insight in individuals and preventing deviance (A Study of Factors Affecting Juvenile Delinquency, 2015). Children at this age grow through interaction with their peers. Abused children frequently struggle in school, exhibiting low academic results, a lack of enthusiasm in learning, poor concentration in class, and few friends (Xxxxxxx et al,1993). Of course, delinquency may also be caused by these individuals’ lack of education.
