Traquan, while he does not demonstrate skills at generating or applying solutions, can at least identify his problems. He recognizes that some problem behavior is controllable, but frequently fails to take responsibility. For example, he can at least identify triggers in his environment (such as persons, events, emotions) although he is not always successful in responding. Regarding his social skills, Traquan can reason there are two sides to a situation, but can have trouble accepting other points of view. ??He has some difficulty in expressing his needs and feelings effectively.
Traquan lacks skills and motivation for developing realistic goals and plans.

Traquan’s areas of strength were identified as community and having some positive peers. Traquan’s pattern of offending appears to be that he is easily influenced by negative peers pressure and associations, has difficulty following rules, and he does not weigh the consequences of his actions. He is extremely impulsive, has difficulty taking the perspective of others and has difficulty of experiencing empathy. He has shown violence to be an acceptable means of addressing problems to his way of thinking. The priority areas of criminogenic need that are part of that pattern of offending and most predictive of reoffending were identified as violence/aggression, skills, community/peers, drugs/alcohol, and school. Specific risk factors and skill deficits include: violence/aggression, skills and community/ negative peer
...will be seen right away, for example the link between socioeconomic status, as well as between housing and delinquent behavior. The advantage of using this study design is that it can show protective factors that might deter delinquent behavior. If a student has a greater commitment to school they are less likely to have incidents with criminal behavior, or show less of a desire to associate with peers who commit specific criminal behavior. As a result of using the analysis, risk and protective factors could serve as basis for research in the future. In addition, interventions based on imparting strategies for coping could be developed. There is still much work to be done to fully explain why youths commit crimes, but this study will help gain insight and understanding of the ways that specific factors influence various types of violent and nonviolent delinquency.
Both Deborah Miranda and Haunani-Kay Trask use their poetry to assert the treatment of their ancestors and peers as a direct result of colonization. Miranda, a Native American writer and poet, has ancestors from the Esselen and Chumash people, tribes native to California. She also has French and Jewish ancestry as part of her lineage. Trask, a Native Hawaiian, serves as a diplomat and activist for indigenous Hawaiian natives. While Native Hawaiians and Native Americans have vastly different cultures and backgrounds, there are many similarities between these two groups of indigenous peoples simply because of one key connection: the colonization of their land by white people. Native Americans and Native Hawaiians did not simply lose their

His highly complacent attitude often leads to problems. Although he generally is very blunt, his desire to be humble and respected can come in the way of him expressing words that are essential to the avoidance of a conflict. This is his major character flaw. His quick manner of

This theory applied directly in the life of this student, his life was changed from one day to the next. His father had passed away and his mom was now trying to find a job to support her kids. Since this student was the oldest, suddenly he was put in charge of taking care of his siblings while his mother worked, when that did not work, he was placed in an orphanage at an young age. This affected his personality and behavior in a dramatic way, it made this student an angry young child. He was angry because he was dealing with the loss of his father and to some extent, even the loss of his mother, who could not be a full time mother anymore.
Juvenile exposure to criminal behavior increases the chances that those individuals will also engage in criminal behavior. Research gives us insight to prevent or reduce criminality and rehabilitate violators of the law that engage in criminal behavior. What causes people to commit crimes? Interdisciplinary criminology gives us a better understanding from several fields of study of a better understanding of crime. Influential factors that influence criminal behaviors are psychological, sociological, and biological. How do we help rehabilitate criminals? Each approach agrees on a criminal’s devotion to aggressive behavior, but they differ in their conclusions. Psychological involves personality, addressing certain felt needs, and defective mental processes. Sociological deals with cause and control of criminality. The social structures, cultural values, peer groups, and family all make-up this approach. The biological approach deals with a person’s biological make-up such as heredity, neurotransmitter dysfunction, and brain abnormalities as major components in criminal behavior.
Families serve as one of the strongest socializing forces in a person's life. They help teach children to control unacceptable behavior, to delay gratification, and to respect the rights of others. Conversely, families can also teach children aggressive, antisocial, and violent behavior. In adults' lives, family responsibilities may provide an important stabilizing force. Given these possibilities, family life may directly contribute to the development of delinquent and criminal tendencies. Parental conflict and child abuse correlate with delinquency. Though not all children who grow up in conflictive or violent homes become delinquent, however, being exposed to conflict and violence appears to increase the risk of delinquency. At this point, researchers have not pin pointed what factors exactly push some at-risk youth into delinquency. A child with criminal parents faces a greater likelihood of becoming a delinquent than children with law-abiding parents. However, the influence appears not to be directly related to criminality but possibly to poor supervision.
...lity that the victim may actually be partly to blame for the crime that was committed against them. Therefore it is often the environment that the criminal lives in, and the people that around them that influence them into committing a criminal act.
... distinctively, in modern tragedies the miseries are often caused by others’ flaw and the main characters are merely a victim of social injustice or other people’s compulsion on them. This change may be a reflection of the common social phenomena that no one is willing to be accused by making a mistake and when something is going against one’s will he or she is more likely to pass the buck to others.
There is no one certain theory, regarding juvenile delinquency, that can completely distinguish all the determining factors that makes youth turn to crime; although, the study of all these theories and ideas can bring criminologist one step closer to uncovering the truth about juvenile delinquency. Only the further understanding of juvenile delinquency can help the prevention of future juvenile offenders. This paper will focus on the individual factors of delinquency, as well as the social elements, and provide an explanation of how the combination of the two elements may cause children to engage in criminal activity.
