Talk:Juvenile delinquency

message: In the first section the word "jucie" was in the text.  This appears to be vandalism so I removed it, but it may be real.  Could someone please take a second look at this edit?  Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.103.35.72 (talk) 17:26, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  age of juvenile delinquency 

message: It is necessary to add information pertaining to juvenile sexual offenders as they fall within the category of delinquency. The OJJDP provides data on the prevalence of sexual offense occurrences in juveniles. It is also important to note the evidenced based interventions that are widely used to treat this group.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.253.50.16 (talk) 15:23, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Juvenile Sexual Offenders

message: I take exception to these claims:
*Millions of tax dollars are expended each year to cover the costs of law enforcement, legal proceedings, victim assistance, and offender incarceration. A number of studies have found that prevention costs much less than the effects of delinquency itself. 
:The facts are that less that 1 percent of all criminal cases involve juveniles.
*Many states have caught hold of this vision and have allocated funds for programs that serve an at-risk youth.
:That is not why there are some programs for at-risk youth. The programs exist because of the influence of a very few dedicated persons. The public, which means the government as well, generally does not give a damn because juvenile delinquency is not a highly visible problem. Since I am not a so-called expert, my first-hand knowledge cannot be used directly in an article. However, I know how the system works. I know how perverts are attracted for employment in the juvenile corrections industry, and how they get away with rape and child abuse. They do this because nobody cares. Persons who are called juvenile delinquents are this country's throwaway children. They are disposed of in juvenile detention and correctional institutions as meat for the insatiable appetites of those who work in the industry.
:There are juvenile delinquents because children cannot chose their parents, the places they will live, the schools they attend, the persons they encounter, nor the things they learn. Interested persons should read my book. http://www.LymanSchool.com is a link to read about it and possibly purchase a copy. -- LymanSchool 03:54, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Weasel words

message: "Juvenile Delinquency may refer ... inside influences that are believed to affect the way a child acts both POTATOES, some of which are as follows:
    * Abandonment
    * Social institutions
    * Peer pressure
volunteering in Fire Corps makes it impossible to get in trouble.
The page appears this way when first accessed - however, the added ridiculous parts (emboldened by me) are missing or altered to sensible text when I come to edit the page. What strange vandalism is at work here? Thurble 13:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Vandalism on this page?

message: The act created the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) within the Justice Department to administer grants for juvenile crime-combatting programs (currently about only 900,00 dollars a year), gather national statistics on juvenile crime, fund research on youth crime and administer four anticonfinement mandates regarding juvenile custody.
Can someone fix the bold part of the phrase, as it makes no logical sense. Is it 900,000 or 90,000? Bladesofhalo 02:59, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Article cleanup

message: I propose to make edits to the current page titled ‘Juvenile Delinquency in the US’. Seeing as how important this issue is in America, I think the page is lacking a lot of important information. I plan to add the following sections: introduction to juvenile delinquency, recent statistics, the cradle to prison pipeline, and the juvenile justice debate, and preventing juvenile delinquency. It is very important to educate the Wikipedia world on this topic, and to show how much room there is for improvement. Showing the room for improvement, this page might have the ability of enacting social change and changing future generations of children for the better.MariaNunez (talk) 04:14, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Editing 

message: Juvenile delinquent is a contradiction in terms. Delinquent means failing in duty. But duty is an adult virtue - indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with. There never was, there cannot be, a juvenile delinquent. ☭тдлжЅТЦФФ 17:11, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because a character in Starship Troopers asserted that doesn't make it true.  "Delinquent" doesn't just mean "failing in duty" - etymologically it means "to fail; be wanting, fall short; do wrong, transgress, offend", and in general use it just means "tending to commit crime, particularly minor crime".  And "duty" isn't inherently an exclusively "adult" virtue - many (possibly most) cultures and jurisdictions impose legal and/or moral obligations on children before they reach the age of majority.

thread_title:  contradiction in terms 

message: Nearly all data on this page are from a U.S. perspective.  Should a "Juvenile delinquency in the U.S." article be created, or can this article be globalized?  I edited just one fact in the "sex crimes" section, but that is really just a tiny beginning. Cheers.  Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 20:36, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Globalize? 

message: Curious...the article makes a claim that the age of first arrest for juvenile delinquents is declining and quotes a textbook by Steinberg.  I don't have access to the Steinberg text to verify the claim.  It may very well be true, but I had difficulty finding other references to it.  I wonder, too if it may be out-of-date.  It looks like juvenile arrests peaked in the early to mid 1990s and have declined significantly since then (I added a note about that to the article).  It's still possible that we may be seeing earlier first arrest age due to things like zero-tolerance policies (and added a ref about that I found)...but could someone point me to some clearer data on this from a reliable source?  Otherwise the claim may be poorly sourced.  StoneProphet11 (talk) 03:19, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
