Addressing A Recurring Crime: Teen Rebelliousness

Teen angst coupled with negative environmental influences can create an exaggerated perception of juvenile autonomy that inevitably lands youthful offenders squarely in the lap of the law. Avoiding this often anticipated cycle of events has become a focus in a positive, proactive approach through community interaction and police involvement so as to establish a constructive solution that not only stops the unwanted behavior but replaces it with productive and interesting options for the wayward teens. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
