Delinquent behaviour

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that delinquent behavior is often related to a lack of parental supervision. Adolescents who lack parental supervision may feel neglected, unsupported, and are more likely to engage in risk-taking behaviors, such as substance abuse, aggression, and sexual activity. However, delinquent behavior is not equally common across all socioeconomic levels, does not necessarily occur in teens with high levels of self-control, and there is evidence suggesting that genetics may contribute to delinquent behavior.
