IV.

The victim may incur expenses related to lost wages,

health care, or psychological care in addition to the cost of
replacing damaged or destroyed items.
The juvenile who commits a crime also suffers effects that
he or she is probably unable to predict.
A. He or she may lose his or her freedom while being
incarcerated or placed on probation.
B. The juvenile may lose ground as well.
C. Although placement in residential detention centers for
juveniles may be appropriate consequences for the
adolescents criminal action, it also puts him or her in
relationships with other delinquents who may be more
sophisticated or influential. This makes him recidivism
likely and, in many states, when a juvenile older than 14
becomes a repeat offender, he or he can be tried and
sentenced as an adult.
D.The delinquency may even have future consequences
on the adolescents college and career choices
There is a correlation between juvenile delinquency and
drug use, gang involvement, alcohol abuse, and sexual
behavior.
Young people who commit serious crimes before they are
18 years old challenge the future for everyone involved.
They may be acting out to protest perceived abuses that
have been perpetrated against them. They may believe
that there is no future for them outside of life of crime.
They may be expressing anger or frustration directed
against another person or group or looking for approval
from a gang.
