Executive Summary
The above cluster graph reflects a juvenile crime in Nevada and the data compares crimes committed by youth aged 10 years -18 years. Both males and females. Juvenile delinquency is typically a crime that is committed by underage people (below 18 years). There are varied causes of juvenile crimes, for example, social factors, community factors, and personal factors. The number of crimes committed by females and males is almost the same; for example, children at age 10 committed close to 20,000 crimes in 2019. These crimes ranged between 17,000 and 20,000 throughout the year. The numbers are relatively high, which poses a great threat to the community. Moreover, the total number of crimes tends to decrease from age 10 to age 17 but it then spikes at age 18 to 20 years (Puzzanchera, Sladky & Kang, 2020).
Why are juvenile crimes increasing with high rates in Nevada? Some of the social factors contributing to crime activities include family size, parenting skills, and antisocial parents. These factors are the primary causes of juvenile delinquency, and boys have the highest degree of committing crimes (Puzzanchera, Sladky & Kang, 2020). Harsh discipline and poor parenting trigger anger, which forces both boys and girls to commit crimes. Surprisingly, there are chances of teens committing crimes if a single parent raises them. Consequently, juvenile crimes can commit from a personal level; for instance, most crimes at the teenage level result from peer pressure.
