Lack of support to families and neighborhood:
High-crime neighborhoods are characterized by high concentrations of families abandoned by fathers. State-by-state analysis by Heritage scholars indicates that a 10 percent increase in the percentage of children living in single-parent homes leads typically to a 17 percent increase in juvenile crime.
lack of leadership in community:
There have been many different angles that have been studied as the potential cause of crime. Currently, the three major aspects include a lack of education, living in poverty, and being raised in a single parent home.
Low value placed on children by parents:
Family plays an important role in the socialization of the child. Family and social conditions affect behaviors related to and levels of crime. Ahuja (1986) in his study found that female criminality is most affected by maladjustment in the family. As per each human being every child has to be given much importance and treated equally to avoid such crime.
