Society related causes might be
- social exclusion, unemployment, particularly 'herited', second generation unemployment
- in the case of immigrant families, poor integration to dominant culture, which is often supported by poor language skills due to segregating housing policies and insufficient integration instruction by the society
Family based causes could consist of
- parental neglect caused by alcoholism, drugs, lack of interest or lack of time due to some other reason, also reasons as 'respectable' as career promotion and efforts to achieve a higher standard of living
- dropping out of school and the educational system, remaining unskilled with no profession
These are some of the risk factors inspite of which many young people succeed in becoming law-abiding citizens and good parents.
Small things can keep their heads above the water level : a nice neighbour or grandparent, a good teacher, some special talent they happen to have. A nice research result shows a strong correlation between low juvenile delinquency and a daily shared family meal, showing the importance of family togetherness. Though you are lead to believe family meals could mean the lack of problems like alcoholism, drugs and other reasons for neglect rather than be the direct decisive factor preventing youth crime.
