Socio-economic factors such as poverty, unemployment, and economic inequality are identified as significant contributors, driving some young people towards criminal activities as a means of survival. Family dynamics also play a crucial role, with dysfunctional family structures, parental neglect, and a lack of positive role models increasing the risk of delinquent behaviour among youths.

The social effects of juvenile delinquency in Nigeria are far-reaching and impactful. They encompass community safety and social cohesion, economic impact, family dynamics, public health concerns, and social stigmatisation and marginalisation of delinquent youths. These social consequences highlight the urgent need for comprehensive strategies and interventions to address juvenile delinquency effectively. The study delves into strategies to mitigate juvenile delinquency, such as comprehensive educational reforms, vocational and technical training, the development and enforcement of robust social support systems, and establishing youth centres and after-school programmes for young people. The study concludes that by examining the interconnected factors influencing juvenile delinquency, stakeholders can develop targeted interventions to mitigate its impact and promote positive youth development. One of the recommendations provided was that investing in quality education and creating opportunities for vocational training and skill development can empower youth and divert them from criminal activities.
