juvenile offender risk factors
Definition
- Broadly defined, a risk factor for juvenile offending is any experience, circumstance, or personal characteristic that increases the probability that a given youth will commit a legal transgression. No single risk factor causes offending; many youths who have been exposed to various risk factors never commit a crime. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Juvenile Offenders, Risk Factors]
