Abstract

In contemporary urban environments, the phenomenon of youth offenses holds significant implications for both individuals and families. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive sociological analysis of the influence of urban youth offenses on family dynamics. Drawing upon theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, and case analyses, this paper explores the intricate interplay between urban environments, familial structures, and youth delinquency. By examining the mechanisms through which familial contexts influence the onset and perpetuation of youth offenses, as well as the reciprocal effects of delinquency on family dynamics, this review sheds light on the complexities inherent in addressing this multifaceted issue.
