Introduction Juveniles could be defined as young children and youth offenders who have not yet attained the age of adulthood, in most cases 18 years. Juvenile delinquency on the other hand is the engagement of children and youthful offenders in criminal activities. Crime is an aspect that has raised concern among individuals, groups, and organizations especially due to its increased rate among both the juveniles and the adults.
