The challenges facing institutions in combating juvenile delinquency

Abstract

The aim of combating juvenile delinquency is to redirect the energies of young individuals towards positive aspects (cultural, sports, artistic activities) in order to strengthen their abilities, provide psychological and moral support, encourage them to strive for improvement, and eliminate negative emotions they may experience (fear, hostility, guilt, inferiority). It involves keeping them away from troublesome situations and teaching them emotional control.

The approach to combating juvenile delinquency takes into consideration the uniqueness of each case and its underlying causes, seeking to modify the behaviors of minors through clarification, persuasion, emphasizing self-understanding and boundaries (what they have and what they lack), and modifying their negative and aggressive behaviors. It involves addressing impulsive responses and behaviors through advice and suggestions (punishing negative behavior and reinforcing desired behavior).
