TCC Report Card 2017 - Juvenile Crime
JUVENILE CRIME
GOAL: Youth in Calhoun County will utilize formal and informal support systems to avoid delinquent behavior
RATIONALE FOR CHOOSING INDICATOR: Juvenile delinquency refers to illegal activities committed by a minor. Such acts can be diverse in their seriousness and their effects on others. At one end of the continuum are status offenses, which are behaviors that are not illegal if performed by an adult (e.g., truancy, running away). Evidence has shown the primary determinants of antisocial behavior in youth are association with deviant peers, poor family relationships and school difficulties.
