Delinquency

Delinquency refers to minor crimes or misbehaviors, typically committed by young people, such as vandalism, theft, or substance abuse. It often indicates underlying social, economic, or psychological issues. While the term is most commonly associated with juvenile offenders, it encompasses any illegal or immoral acts committed by individuals, especially those under legal age. Addressing delinquency involves understanding the causes and providing support, such as education, counseling, or community programs, to help prevent future offenses and promote positive behavior.
