ABSTRACT

This study investigated the factors influencing juvenile delinquencies among juveniles in Borstal Training Institute Ganmo, Kwara State.

A sample of 150 respondents were randomly selected. A questionnaire titled โ€œFactor Influencing Juvenile Delinquencies Questionnaire (FIJDQ) was administered to elicit relevant information from the respondents and the data collected were analysed with the use of frequency counts, simple percentages, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).

The study revealed that parents not paying adequate attention to their children and lack of parental supervision or control; and exposure of children to drug use are the fundamental factors influencing juvenile delinquencies.

Based on these findings, it was recommended that multisystem therapy (MST) could be adopted. MST is a family โ€“ oriented home based program targeting chronically violent, substance โ€“ abusing juvenile offenders aged 12 to 17. also, counsellors should be employed in remand or juvenile homes for enhanced and functional guidance and counselling activities aimed at rehabilitating  and reforming the delinquent juveniles. 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background to the Study

In our contemporary, societies, the problem of juvenile delinquency has been one of the malicious, negativistic acts of purposeless violence, which has turned out to be difficult to prevent and control. It has been observed that most delinquent acts which are serious and violent are committed by the juvenile or street gangs. These juveniles are involved in multiple, serious criminal acts. They maintain a criminal life-style; they are known to be repeat or chronic delinquent offenders (Siegel and Senna, 1991:6).

It should be emphasized that the trends of juvenile delinquency is difficult to establish on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or over a long period in our schools. This is because statistical records are not accurately kept in our schools. This makes it even more difficult to determine exactly, whether juvenile delinquency is on the increase or decrease during a certain period in our schools.

Based on the national office of statistics, it is believed that juvenile delinquency rose astronomically at certain times during oil (1970 โ€“ 1979) and post โ€“ oil (1980 โ€“ 1989) era. The records of the Police Bureau also show that there was the greatest risk that students/pupils would be victims of serious offences than minor or simple offences committed by the delinquent students in the schools. Even teachers are not safe from their anti-social behaviour.

Emphatically, the problem of juvenile delinquency is a global phenomenon. Pathetically, on February 12 1993, 2 year old, James Bulger was abducted from a shopping mall in Liverpool, England, dragged half mile away to a construction site, beaten to death, and left on a rail road track to be run over by a train.

Statement of the Problem

The problem of juvenile delinquency has engaged the attention of various scholars especially in the developed countries. Without mincing words, juvenile delinquency has โ€œcalamitous effectsโ€ in our contemporary societies. Efforts to discover its causes/roots reveal that it is an endless effort to attribute its roots/causes to a single factor such as poverty, family environment, biochemical make-up, genetic factors to mention but a few.

The nature and scope of the juvenile delinquency vary from non-violent, to violent and from minor to serious offences. They include minor or single offences like cheating, fighting, lying, truancy and stealing to serious offences such as murder, arson, burglary, destruction of property and armed robbery. It also includes acts of drunkenness, alcoholism, prostitution, drug trafficking and peddling; fraudulent practices, bribery, corruption and counter feinting.

For these acts of infringement, โ€œthe delinquent child is not tried under the criminal laws, but by the jurisdiction of the juvenile court which must do everything possible to help the child, because of the presumption that he/she is immature and lacks criminal intent (Iwarimie โ€“ Jaja, 1999:41).

There is no gain-saying the fact that delinquent juveniles are likely to graduate into adult criminals. Iwarimie โ€“ Jaja (1999) explains the link between juvenile delinquency and adult criminality.

Research Questions

The study aims at finding answers to the following research questions:

  • What are the factors influencing juvenile delinquencies?
  • Is there any difference in the factor influencing juvenile delinquencies by respondents based on gender?
  • Is there any difference in the factor influencing juvenile delinquencies by respondents based on age?
  • Is there any difference in the factor influencing juvenile delinquencies by respondents based on family type?
  • Is there any difference in the factor influencing juvenile delinquencies by respondents based on religion?
