Five causes of delinquency among adolescents (juvenile crime) are :
1. Use of substances such as drugs and alcohol.
2. Wrong ways of parenting like harsh and abusive ways of punishment.
3. Incorrect selection of friends and peers, resulting in unwanted, irresistible reasons to commit crime.
4. Social labelling at young age can lead to personality changes and biases.
5. Economic and social complications leading to forced crime commitment.
