Juvenile delinquency
The Week 2 and 3 lessons in this course focused upon various theoretical explanations for why juvenile delinquency occurs. As highlighted in these lessons, the theoretical views can be categorized into the following groupings: (1) Individual causes; (2) Societal causes; (3) Social process; and (4) Social interaction. Compose an essay of 500 – 700 words where you explain the primary differences in the types of theories that fall into each of these four groupings. As part of your response utilize examples of theories that fall within each grouping, being sure to explain why those theories best align with the group you identified as opposed to another grouping. Directly quoted material may be used, but will not count towards the minimum word count. Be sure to support your response with cited scholarly resources as required by APA. A minimum of three (3) peer-reviewed scholarly sources must be used when composing your response.
