Criminological analysis of adult delinquency with emphasis on childhood victimization

Field and Aims:

Delinquency is an unhealthy situation in social life and widely disrupts the equations of a normal social life. Delinquency happens at different times and it is much more sensitive in childhood than other times. And if delinquency occurs in childhood, its effects and consequences will affect adult life, and the contribution of delinquency in adulthood will vary based on control in childhood. Because the experiences of adolescents in the world are changing with major social changes that affect their preparation for adulthood. Accordingly, this research has been conducted with the aim of criminological analysis of adult delinquency with an emphasis on childhood victimization.

The present research was carried out with a descriptive analytical method.

In this study, the causes of delinquency have been analyzed based on the presence of delinquency in childhood and its relationship in adulthood with causal explanations. The findings are in two general categories. Some have played an accelerating or predisposing role and some have played a controlling or inhibiting role. In both cases, prevention and control of conditions for delinquency have been recommended and ordered by many theorists. The grounds and factors predisposing to delinquency include membership in deviant groups, weakening of family values, poverty and economic issues, and the vulnerability of children of divorce.

The contexts and factors controlling delinquency emphasize two important components of strengthening relationships with family and resocialization and spiritual transformation and delinquency control.
