ABSTRACT

In this study, various issues and behavior symptoms in young offenders were investigated. Young juvenile offenders are more likely to exhibit social problems, thinking problems, attention problems, rule-breaking behaviour, and violent behaviour, among other indications of problem behaviors. The study included 200 juvenile offenders, 120 of whom were male and 80 of whom were female. Every respondent was found guilty of seven distinct offences. Three research questions were created before then: 1. Do various categories of young offenders exhibit different problem behavior symptoms? 2. Do the signs of problem behaviors among young offenders alter according on a person's gender? 3. Does the age range of juvenile offenders affect the symptoms of their behavior differently? The findings demonstrated that juvenile offenders had a variety of problem behavior characteristics. This exploratory study explores the complex network of developmental effects resulting from juvenile delinquency, concentrating on the effects on behavioural, emotional, and cognitive aspects of growth. This study aims to clarify the multifaceted consequences that go beyond the direct legal ramifications as teenagers negotiate the treacherous landscape of delinquent behavior. The research utilizes a multifaceted methodology, acknowledging the interdependent character of cognitive, affective, and behavioural domains to offer a thorough comprehension of the developmental path impacted by juvenile delinquency.
