Addressing A Recurring Crime: Teen Rebelliousness

Abstract: 6 pages in length. To say the relationship between youth and police is a strained one is to oversimplify the socioeconomic and sociopolitical components of virtually every global community. 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.
