The main role of a boy’s justice is to prevent crimes committed by a boy who has committed what is considered an adult crime. Courts are primarily responsible for dealing with unmolested boys, even if they are active partners in large-scale community containment efforts. Regardless of whether the court imposes sanctions or provides services, the court will continue to determine the nature and severity of interventions for affected young people and families. It would be relatively straightforward to intervene with juvenile offenders to prevent further crime if it is possible to identify serious, serious and / or violent offenders early in their criminal careers and to fix the factors affecting this model. Interventions are often expressed as “impacts” to reduce the likelihood of future arrests or the potential for future arrests. The effectiveness is a comparable index between several studies. It shows how certain risk variables or interventions affect a person’s arrest. In contrast to the indicator for statistical significance, the size of the examined sample has little effect, so the results can be compared between the studies. In the intervention studies discussed later in this chapter, dose shows the mean difference in inclusion rates observed between the treatment and comparison groups. If studies show that the treatment group has an arrest rate of 25% and the comparison group has an arrest rate of 35%, the effect of the intervention is lower than 10% percent. Involvement in social behavior among existing individuals may lead to more serious and more serious environmental impacts such as neighborhood chaos and over-involvement of peers. However, the process by which these circumstances and personal risk factors work together to increase the risk of involvement in a crime is the same that differentiates between serious crimes. Many areas of health and social services rely heavily on realistic methods for examining and diagnosing people. These methods include checklists and structured protocols to identify specific problems for further diagnosis to determine the severity of the problem.

Problem behavior syndrome is a set of antisocial behaviors that may include dysfunctional families, substance abuse, early pregnancy, smoking, theft among many others which affect the at-risk youths in the society. Problem behavior syndrome posits that when an adolescent or when a juvenile exhibit one or two of these behaviors then it is almost certain that they would develop others if there is no intervention that is brought on board. Kids with the problem behavior syndrome can have issues to do with substance abuse, poor educational achievement, violence, theft and some even have suicidal attempts contrary to the kids that do not suffer from problem behavior syndrome (Siegel & Welsh, 2017). Smoking, substance abuse and precocious sexuality are the three most important behaviors that influence juvenile delinquency. When a kid smokes then he or she is likely to become delinquent and the same can be said for the family setting. Substance abuse breeds violence as it takes away the logical reasoning and proper brain functioning even giving false sense of strength leading to violence. Precocious sexuality and early pregnancy also lead to delinquency among juveniles as it leads to kids having responsibilities which are otherwise not cut out for them thus forcing them to become deviant to cope.
