    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Criminology
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Delinquency presents a complex challenge with diverse psychological explanations.
    • Understanding the etiological roots of delinquency is crucial for effective intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and categorize psychological explanations of delinquency.
    • To evaluate theories based on their explanatory power regarding rates, forms, and motivations of delinquency.
    • To discuss the implications of these theories for prevention strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • A psychological etiological approach was used to categorize theories.
    • Theories were assessed based on explanatory power for differential rates, forms, and motivations of delinquency.
    • Implications for primary prevention, especially in schools, were considered.

    Main Results:

    • Psychological explanations of delinquency were grouped into unchanging intrapersonal, changeable intrapersonal, and interpersonal factors.
    • Interpersonal theories demonstrated the most significant explanatory power across various criteria.
    • Differential rates of delinquency, peaking at age 16, and diverse forms of behavior were considered.

    Conclusions:

    • Interpersonal theories offer the most promising avenues for future research and practical interventions.
    • Primary prevention strategies, particularly within school settings, can benefit from insights derived from interpersonal theories of delinquency.
