Most of the adolescents who show delinquent behavior have dysfunctional or negatively influenced family members. Broken families, single parent families, separated families, frequent parents fight, lack of trust and confidence among the parents, and parents with criminal or psychological pasts can contribute to juvenile delinquency.
