Juvenile delinquency is a major social problem in the United States. Juvenile delinquency negatively affects families and local neighborhood morale. Further, taxpayers bear the financial burden of treating and incarcerating juveniles through adulthood when appropriate preventative and/or rehabilitative measures are not established. Many factors are thought to contribute to juvenile criminal behavior. There has been no clear consensus on which are the most influential. This study analyzes data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLYS97) in an attempt to extract pertinent factors correlated to recidivism. Data indicated that some interval-level variables of expectations. In addition, the study revealed that, except for limit breaking, parenting style was not correlated with recidivism.
