Children often test the limits and boundaries set by their parents and other authority figures. Among adolescents some rebelliousness and experimentation is common. However a few children consistently participate in problematic behaviors that negatively affect their family academic social and personal functioning. These children present great concern to parents and the community at large.
Definitions of delinquency vary among different groups. To alleviate confusion we describe four perspectives on delinquency:
Parents may define disruptive and delinquent behavior as disobedience, fighting with siblings, destroying or damaging property, stealing money from family members or threatening parents with violence.
School staff members often regard delinquent behavior as that which interrupts or disturbs classroom learning, violates the school code of conduct and threatens the safety of faculty and students.
Mental health professionals consider delinquency to include a wide range of disruptive behaviors that may involve aggression toward others or animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness theft and violations of curfew and school attendance.
The majority of states and the federal government consider persons under the age of 18 to be juveniles. However when children under this age commit serious crimes (for example murder) they may be prosecuted as adults.
From a juvenile justice perspective delinquent behavior is divided into two categories: "status" offenses and "delinquency" offenses. Status offenses include acts such as truancy (skipping school), running away, alcohol possession or use, and curfew violations. Delinquency offenses involve destruction or theft of property, commission of violent crimes against persons, illegal weapon possession, and possession or sale of illegal drugs.

Researchers found poor grades and other unpleasant experiences at school are for many minor offenders a starting point on the road toward delinquency.
In a study that tracked more than 2,000 juvenile delinquents across China, 74.2 percent of the young offenders were found to have quit primary or junior high school before they became involved in various crimes. Nearly 93 percent of juvenile delinquents in cities used to play truant when they were at school. Some 40 percent of the young offenders said they cut school because they hated schoolwork and another 27.1 percent said the pressure was unbearable at school.
As grades are often an important yardstick in judging a student's performance and overall quality at Chinese schools, those with poor grades tend to feel they are inferior and isolated.
These children, who are often regarded as outcasts at school, are also constantly reproached and punished at home, which discourages them even more from going back to school.
Children who are not doing well at school need friendship and other emotional support to relieve their pressure. Driven by a thirst for friendship, many youngsters gather in gangs and stand firmly with each other, even in committing crimes.
In fact, many young offenders start to show early signs of moral defect in junior high school, often when they are 14 and reaching puberty. Parents and teachers, therefore, should be on guard against early signs of moral defect in youngsters in order to lead them back to the normal track as soon as possible.

Children were viewed as non-persons until the 1700's. They did not receive special treatment or recognition. Discipline then is what we now call abuse. There were some major assumptions about life before the 1700's.
The first assumption is that life was hard, and you had to be hard to survive. The people of that time in history did not have the conveniences that we take for granted. For example, the medical practices of that day were primitive in comparison to present-day medicine. Marriages were more for convenience, rather than for childbearing or romance.
The second assumption was that infant and child death rates were high. It did not make sense to the parents in those days to create an emotional bond with children. There was a strong chance that the children would not survive until adulthood.
At the end of the 18th century, "The Enlightenment" appeared as a new cultural transition. This period of history is sometimes known as the beginning of reason and humanism. People began to see children as flowers, who needed nurturing in order to bloom. It was the invention of childhood, love and nurturing instead of beatings to stay in line. Children had finally begun to emerge as a distinct group. It started with the upper-class, who were allowed to attend colleges and universities. Throughout all time there has been delinquency. In ancient Britain,
children at the age of seven were tried, convicted, and punished as adults. There was no special treatment for them; a hanging was a hanging.

Most of the research concerning risks for delinquency has focused on boys, making it difficult to assess how the risks for girls differ from those for boys. However, several factors are consistently associated with delinquency in girls.
1. History of abuse. In one study of youth incarcerated in Virginia for violent offenses, 5 1 % of the girls evidenced a documented history of sexual abuse and 35% a history of physical abuse, levels which were significantly higher than those reported for boys.
2.Family distress. As girls are presumed to be more likely to stay close to home, it is plausible that family factors such as single parent status, parental conflict, parental criminality, poor family management, and residential mobility, disproportionately affect girls.
3. Substance abuse. In a study of several state training schools in California, over half of the facilities surveyed reported a pressing need for substance abuse treatment for the majority of enrolled girls.
4. Mental illness. In a review concerning gender and conduct disorder development, researchers found those who go against the general gender pattern, such as conduct-disordered girls, tend to be highly disturbed and have a larger than expected number of ancillary problems.
5. Teenage parenting. Although there is no evidence that teenage parenting causes delinquency, several of the high-risk behaviors associated with teenage pregnancy are also associated with delinquency.
6. Academic failure. In one examination of incarcerated women, nearly half of the respondents had been expelled from school, and a disproportionate number had learning disabilities.
