Prevalence and Theory of Juvenile Delinquency among Adolescence Garratt Cyle Briggs American Military University CMRJ206 Jan 21, 2015 “Analyze how prevalent delinency is among adolescents” Until recently delinquent behavior among U.S. adolescent has received a great deal of public attention. Most of the popular adolescent delinquency accounts emphasize serious violent actions such as offenses against individual. Such types of violent actions prompted the U.S. Surgeon General in 1985 to mark violence as a key health problem in the United States (Siegel & Welsh, 2014). Violent behaviors among adolescents are dangerous and can ultimately lead to injury or even death.
Most of the time people do not understand gang members but look at them automatically as corrupt people. People do not understand a lot of the gang members could have been raised around gangs and influenced around it. Without crime and deviance there would be a limit of certain jobs like police officers, court house, etc. “Accepted wisdom holds that crime is committed disproportionately by adolescents. According to data from the United States and other industrialized countries, property and violent crime rise rapidly in the teenage years to a peak at about ages 16 and 18, respectively, with a decline thereafter until old age (Hirschi & Gottfredson 1983, Farrington 1986, Flanagan & Maguire 1990)”.

Running Head: Homelessness and Mental Illness Homelessness and Mental Illness August 6, 2010 Abstract There are well over a million homeless people in Western Europe and North America, but reliable estimates of the prevalence of major mental disorders among this population are lacking. The solutions needed are likely to vary considerably by type of disorder, despite commonalities in some of the serious consequences such as victimization, criminality, suicide, and death from other causes. Homelessness among people living with psychotic disorders, for instance, is often linked to deinstitutionalization in Western countries, although the analysis of the apparent failure of community care does not support a causal role (Leff, 2004).
Sexual Abuse and Its Effects on Mental Health Millie Holt Rufus English Composition II – 1102 Professor Lockard June 16, 2012 Sexual abuse is the topic I have chosen to research, focusing on the mental health effects that it causes. Sexual abuse as defined in the Encyclopedia of Psychology is, “unwanted sexual activity with perpetrators using force, making threats, or taking advantage of victims not able to give consent” (12Ma19). After such a traumatic experience the victim usually suffers from mental health related illnesses such as, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and major affective disorders. While it appears that most sexual abuse is a physical crime against the body, it is also a crime that affects the victim mentally causing problems throughout their adult lives. Sexual abuse leaves both behavior and physical signs.
