Juvenile Delinquency and Victimization in Canada: Relationship to Family, Peer Groups and Perceived Norms
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing juvenile delinquency and victimization in relation to societal norms, and peer and familial groups. The definition of deviance has changed over the centuries and what were once considered acts of demonic possession in regards to criminal action are now considered violent reactions to elements within society. Juvenile delinquents have long been considered deviants to society because their actions do not “conform” to the norms of society and in fact “offend” society. In fact however, on assessing recent studied rates of juvenile delinquency and victimization in Canada, it has been reported that over half of the youths studied have committed acts of delinquency. In addition, youths who have reported high rates of delinquency have also reported high rates of victimization in their peer and family environments. If this is the case, youths who are considered delinquents may only be reacting to their immediate violent environments of peer and family in which victimization and delinquency are considered the norm and committing further acts of delinquency is reinforced and in part considered acceptable by their peer and family social groups.

Juvenile Gangs.
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) Generally, for purposes of this discussion, a gang can be considered to be a loosely organized group of individuals who collaborate together for social reasons. Modern day gangs also collaborate for anti-social reasons. Gangs generally have a leade, or group of leaders, who issue orders and often profit from the gang's activities. A gang claims group identity through "their colors", certain types of clothing, tattoos, brands, or other gang ID. Many gangs also adopt certain types of hairstyles and communicate through the use of hand signals and graffiti on walls, streets, school work, and school property. It should be acknowledged, that, it is not illegal to be in a gang, and indeed many adults are currently involved in activities that meet Webster's definition for a gang. However, many gangs of today, especially youthful gangs, break the law to provide funding for gang activities or to further the gang's territory, or reputation on "the streets."
