You Need to Know
the Risk Factors! |
|
 If
the goal of services is to prevent
delinquency, or to keep youth from engaging
in delinquent activities, it is important to
know what factors tend to influence youth to
engage in delinquent activities. When we

serve, and can help them develop protective
factors. To prevent
delinquency, we must support resiliency.
