For this assessment, you will create a report on a juvenile’s case to share with the juvenile court, school authorities, community service providers, and the police department. The purpose of the report is to build awareness on the underlying causes for juvenile delinquent behavior and highlight the challenges faced by the police in handling juveniles. The report will include a review of social causation theories that best explain the juvenile’s behavior, the processing of juvenile delinquents by police, ways to deter future offending, and police-based interventions.
You are a juvenile justice professional who has been tasked with evaluating 15-year-old Philip’s case. Philip grew up in a tough, lower-socioeconomic neighborhood that was characterized by several cultures and high mobility. He never felt close to his parents, and he did not perform well in school. He valued such things as his fighting ability and his ability to con people. When he was 10 years old, he began to associate with delinquent peers who taught him how to steal cars and burglarize houses. He received rewards from his peers for his behavior and did not feel guilty for his delinquent acts. Instead, he would say that the people he stole from were wealthy enough to afford to replace the items, and most had insurance anyway.
Philip has been arrested for house burglary. He shows no sign of remorse for what he has done and is being disrespectful to the police officers. His parents are not cooperating with the police and the intake officer refuses to take Philip in, as there is a space crunch in the holding facility. The police let Philip go after giving him a warning. This is Philip’s first time in the juvenile justice system.
