Juvenile delinquency refers to the illegal actions performed by an individual who is less than 18 years old. It is a broad term ranging from minor offenses like skipping classes to more severe crimes like burglary, fights, and more. Understanding why minors engage in juvenile crimes is essential to curbing them.

One of the reasons why juveniles engage in such crimes is poor educational quality. School is not just a place to learn; a well-structured education system also pays attention to students' behaviors to ensure discipline. However, in an overpopulated and poorly funded school, paying attention to each student can become more challenging. This lack of attention and accountability can make these minors less interested in education, exposing them to various social vices, including fighting and skipping classes.

Another leading cause of juvenile crimes is violence at home. Children who are exposed to violence at home are more likely to become violent individuals. This is because the home is the first place a child learns behaviors that will shape their lives. Experiencing violent behaviors from their parents may lead them to believe that it is normal to resolve issues through violence. This can encourage them to engage in fights with their peers at the slightest provocation.
