DELINQUENCY PREVENTION

Introduction

Earlier the United States of America has had big problem finding out the answers to problem

behaviours, multiple acts of crime, delinquency and abuse of substances. Answers have been retrieved

by research organizations that substance abuse is the most rampant in the current generation (Conger,

2016).Researchers have suggested that substance abuse and delinquency can lead to more bigger

crimes, each and every individual has his/her own way maybe from parental childhood care or else

connections from the social world he/she is living in and this may include peer pressure or maybe from

the institutions.

Pressing issues facing the future of delinquency perspective

Most of the individuals especially the youths in the adolescent stage are unable to deviate from

substance abuse due to their association with deviant groups or peers.This is with no doubt that most of

the parents understand that the company of their children is at risk of drug abuse if they do not control

who they spend their time with.

Key developmental perspective on delinquency prevention

Due to increased violence among the youth of age 13-21 especially in the Asian and Europe

ethnicity was noted by use of a logistic regression which is a violence predicting tool which can predict

an occurrence of violence and influences that are antisocial. Researchers are still in the field identifying

more convenient and accurate ways to prevent delinquencies.

Therefore this program can be of success only if the after the results of the different individuals

can be taken care of.The parents can use their best channels including disciplining their children, taking

them for guidance and counseling if already affected.

The program can also be a failure if none of the above actions are not taken seriously therefore

having no impact to the whole society.Poverty amongst some families is a major key that can lead to

failure of the logistic regression.

Logit regression can adapt to the future whereby educative measures have to be taken in the

institutions that can afford the regression models (Dodge, 2015).Institutions include schools,

correction centers and higher institutions.

Value of logit regression

Logit regression has multiple ways of validation, it has even been given more credits when it

comes to its performance. Samples have been provided including samples ranging from n=498 and also

n=1020 from extremely large data.
