The definition of a ‘young person’ changed and this shapes our understanding of the ‘problem of youth’ today
Abstract: Youth crime and delinquent behaviour among teenagers have always been the cornerstone of contemporary civilized countries. Mostly it has been shrugged off as coming of the age. However, an issue arises when these young people get to be a part of a society; voting, driving, working. Is there a reason why violence, substance abuse and antisocial behaviour have been on the rise? Condemnation, higher standard or no-nonsense attitude. These are all factors that focus on the evolution of youth crime."
Key words: youth crime, prevention, adolescent rehabilitation, community service, restorative justice
