Accepted Answer

The ecological/psychosocial model considers the developmental stage of the youth as a factor in predicting the risk of delinquent behavior. This model recognizes that the onset of problems and the accumulation of multiple difficulties over time can impact a youth's risk for delinquency and other negative outcomes.
