Effects of Delinquency and Prevention

 Effects of Delinquency and Prevention

When it comes to juvenile delinquency, it is a serious problem that affects not only the victims of delinquents, but also the juvenile delinquents themselves, their families, and the entire society. Although juvenile delinquents are unable to forecast the consequences of their acts on their own, they are severely harmed as a result of their actions. The majority of the time, these offences result in the youngsters losing their freedom, as they may be sentenced to probation or even incarceration. This will also have a detrimental impact on their academic performance because they will be unable to participate in academic activities that will take place during their probation or jail.

Some juvenile delinquents, particularly those who are placed in residential treatment centres for incarceration, are susceptible to being influenced by more experienced juvenile delinquents. As a result of these factors, the youngster will be more likely to face the repercussions of a subsequent infraction. The delinquency of a youngster may govern and influence his or her future job choices in a number of different way.

When a juvenile delinquent is present in a family, it can be traumatic for the other members of the family, resulting in instability and a sense of fear for the rest of the family. The family must deal with the demands of the troubled adolescent as well as raising money for legal bills. Families also owe an ethical commitment to the victim of a delinquent member of their household. Families of delinquent children are forced to attend counselling sessions with the delinquent child. This is both expensive and disruptive. Teenage delinquency is directly associated with a variety of activities such as sexual activity, drug usage, gang engagement, and so on. This is detrimental to the community because it makes it unsafe, and it has also resulted in the government spending enormous sums of money on schools to ensure safety and to enforce the laws of the land. In addition, as previously said, juvenile delinquency has a detrimental impact on a wide range of societal groupings by negatively impacting the community, families, people, and everyone else who lives in that specific culture. The situation also poses a challenge to the government, the police, numerous social organisations, educators, faith communities, and politicians, amongst other stakeholders. Finally, we may argue that the consequences of delinquency are always negative and detrimental.


Prevention

It is critical to guarantee that families have a positive influence on their children because of the role that families play in the development of delinquent behaviour in children. It can be accomplished by demonstrating that the family has a strong emotional link and by laying out good communication procedures for the members of the family. The vast majority of the children are raised in households that do not adhere to the standard definition of family structure. It should be particularly thoroughly monitored in order to prevent the development of delinquent behaviour. Schools should also do background checks on students to fill in any gaps that may have been left by their parents. Educators can also assist in counselling a child who is involved in domestic violence or who has a parent who is convicted of a crime.


Families should keep a close eye on the people with whom their children are spending their time. They should make certain that their children are participating in social activities that are beneficial to them. As a result, there will be a reduction in the likelihood of children becoming delinquents. Teachers should keep a tight eye on their students to ensure that they are participating in appropriate activities. Pupils should be thoroughly screened at school to ensure that they are not in possession of any prohibited items. It will also aid in the identification of delinquent children, allowing them to be punished in a variety of methods. Another method of mitigating delinquency is by the reduction or eradication of racism from society, as it has a negative impact as well. It is always directed towards delinquents who belong to minority communities. It will aid in the lowering of various youths from these minority groups who are involved in criminal activity. It will also assist in raising the self-esteem of teens from these minority groups, resulting in a reduction in the number of infractions committed by these teenagers as a result of their poor self-esteem.

Case Laws related to Defamation in favour of ClaimantCase Laws related to Defamation in favour of Claimant. TOLLEY Vs, J.S FRY & SONS LTD – (1931) Facts The defendants were owners of chocolate manufacturing company. They advertised their products with a caricature of the claimant, who was a prominent amateur golfer, showing him with the defendants’ chocolate in his pocket while playing golf. The advertisement compared the excellence of the chocolate to the excellence of the claimant’s drive. The claimant did not consent to or knew about the advertisement. Issue The claimant alleged that the advertisement suggested that he agreed to his portrait being used for commercial purposes and for financial gain. He further claimed that the use of his image made him look like someone who prostituted his reputation for advertising purposes and was thus unworthy of his status. At trial, several golfers gave evidence to the effect that if an amateur sold himself for advertisement, he no longer maintained his amateur status and might be asked to resign from his respective club. Furthermore, there was evidence that the possible adverse effects of the caricature on the claimant’s reputation were brought to the defendants’ attention. The trial judge found that the caricature could have a defamatory meaning. The jury then found in favor of the claimant. Held The House of Lords held that in the circumstances of this case – as explained by the facts – the caricature was capable of constituting defamation. In other words, the publication could have the meaning alleged by the claimant. The Lords also ordered a new trial limited to the assessment of damages. NEWSTEAD V LANDON EXPRESS NEWSPAPER LTD, (1939) Facts: A newspaper published a defamatory article about Harold Newstead. However, another person with this name brought an action in libel. He claimed that the article had been misunderstood as leading to him. The defendant newspaper recognised that they published the article. Also, they denied that they had the intention of being defamatory of him. Consequently, the claimant argued that the newspaper was under a duty. The duty was to give a clear and complete description of the correct person. Moreover, the claimant argued that the defendants were in breach of the duty. Issues: The issue in Newstead v London Express Newspaper, was if the reasonable persons would have understood the words complained of to refer to the plaintiff. Held: The Court of Appeal stated that in accordance with the current law on libel, liability for libel does not depend on the intention of the defamer; but on the fact of the defamation. Accordingly, a reasonable man, in this case a newspaper publisher, must be aware of the possibility of individuals with the same name and must assume that the words published will be read by a reasonable man with reasonable care.
