Assignment Details

You are a sociologist, and you notice that the juveniles in your area are starting to cause legal problems and are beginning to overload the juvenile court system. There are several theories that explain why juveniles become delinquent.

Some of the sociological theories include anomie, social disorganization, drift theory, and differential association theory.

Locate a sociological theory (it does not have to be one of the theories listed previously), and explain that theory with its relation to juvenile delinquency.

Please note that sociological theories relate to society and external influences over a juvenile, not psychological influences (which relate to internalization within a person) or biological influences (which concern physical problems).

Once you decide on a theory, describe how it relates to juveniles by explaining what the theory believes causes the juvenile problems.

Explain what you could do in your position to aid in alleviating these problems.

Write an essay of 800-1,000 words (3-4 pages) in APA format.

The first half should define the sociological theory, and the remainder should provide details about alleviating the problem. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
