4. Chapter 5 (Due 2:00, 2/20) 5 points
First read the chapter 5 about Developmental Theories. Many Developmental Theories suggest that delinquent behavior is not a 'one shot deal' but is a dynamic process. According to this view, children are affected by individual characteristics as well as social experiences and that these social experiences continue throughout the person's life.There are two questions below having to do with information in this chapter, answer both (number both of your responses).
1. In your own words, describe Problem Behavior Syndrome. Why would this information be of value to those in the field of juvenile delinquency?
2. If bad behavior is explained by multiple problems (Problem Behavior Syndrome), than 'good behavior' may be explained by multiple strengthts. A young person gets a perfect score on the SAT. Without knowing this person, what personal, family and social and enviornmental characteristics do you think he or she would have? Another person is a career criminal. What personal, family, and social characteristics would he or she have?

1. Problem bahavior syndrome are problems that youth or juvienile are face with such as early pregnancy,smoking, substance abuse,unemployement,family dysfunction, and many more.and juvenile with this kind of behavior are part of PBS.and this information is important to those in the field of juvenile delinquency because the the earlier they detect and view the problem they start to research on the best way or treatment to help this kids or orders who might be at risk too.2.A child who get a perfect score on his SAT must have a family who spend time with him show him love and attention and get him motivated with his study and would likely be living in a neighborhood where the people are rich or average income with no crime.The other with who is a career crimal may come from a family background where the parent go in an out of jail,or are on drugs,he may have been abused pyhscal,emotional,or syhcological and also live in a nieghborhood where crime is their no 1 priority.
1)Problem behavior syndrome, is a syndrome that happens to “at-risk” children early on in there childhood such as being sexually active, usage of drugs and drinking, some also join gangs. This may help be helpful information in the juvenile system because it helps researchers “ design treatment prevention that provides multidimensional strategies.”
2) The child who gets a perfect SAT score, you can tell comes from a good healthy family. The child has strong ties with parents and with other peers. Its likely that he/she comes from a stable home. A good neighborhood. The child is most likely to be in after school activities.
The career criminal is most likely one who comes from a broken home, single parent. Lives in a low class neighborhood where drugs and crime are easy to see and come by. The career criminal is more likely to be a school drop out.
1.Problem behavior syndrome deals with the antisocial behaviors of youths. This includes early pregnancy, dysfunctional families, substance abuse and delinquency. This might be important to someone in the juvenile delinquency field because if they can see or detect that a child has this problem then maybe they can get them help for it early on so it wont affect them later on in life. 2. The person who scores a perfect score on the SAT has a solid family structure and typically would live in a good environment without drugs, homicides, drug dealers and etc. On the other hand the career criminal would be exposed to these things and also he/she would come from a dysfunctional family.
1. Problem Behavior Syndrome is a cluster of negative social, personal and environmental influences and/or behaviors.
This information is of value to those in the field of juvenile delinquency because, one should understand the delinquent behavior and the correlations between the social, personal and environmental influences on those behaviors. You can provide better treatment and prevention plans. The treatment will be more effective if the stratergies are multidimensional. Intervention can be put in place as soon as you know those who are at-risk.If there are plans and/or programs that include providing positive social, personal, and environmental support this will contribute to decreasing delinquent behavior.There is evidence that show children receiving intervention services has decreased" problem-behavior outcomes in their development".
2. 'Good Behavior' can be explained by multiple strenghts. A young person who gets a perfect score on thier SAT is likely to have had positve personal, family, social, and environmental influences. This person most likely come from a supportive family, with working parents who are educated. They live in an area where crime rates are low and resources are avaiable.
A person who is a career criminal most likely come from a dysfunctional family where there has been some form of abuse, parents are unemployed, and they live in deteriorated neighborhoods. This person performance in school is poor, and criminal activity is the culture of the neighborhood.
Social, personal and environmental influences are all link to ones behavior. A negative influence can contibute to delinquent behavior. A postive influence can contribute to law abiding citizen.
1. Problem Behavior Syndrome is a number of different social problems facing the youth of today. If a juvenile displays any one of these problems, they usually cluster into other problems of PBS. This information would be of significant value to those in the juvenile delinquency field. By knowing that a juvenile displays one of the social problems of PBS, they can try to get that juvenile the help that they need before that one problem manifests into another, more serious problem.
2. The multiple strengths found in a young person with a perfect score on the SAT would usually include high self esteem, a supportive family and growing up in a good neighborhood with positive role models located within that neighborhood. On the other hand, a career criminal would likely have low self esteem, a dysfunctional family while growing up in a poverty stricken area that lacks positive role models.
1. Problem behavior Syndrome(PBS) are juveniles who have multiple problems that effect them at an earlier point in their lives. This information would be valueable to those in the field of juvenile delinquency because they need to know what goes on in a juveniles life to be able to understand why they act the way they do. If detected early enough the problem may be stopped.
2.A person who scores very high on the SAT test has a family who is involved they also know what the important things in life are. They are well educated and live in nice nieghborhoods. A person who is a career criminal doesn't have respect for themselves buts trys to get respect from their streets. They live in bad neighborhoods and are not very educated. The family that raised them most likely are career criminals also.
1.Problem Behavior Syndromes are different behavior Charecteristics.These are all negative behaviors that deliquents may perform during the course of their deliquent years.Knowing the behavior traits described in P.B.S may help those in the field of juvenile deliquency by giving behavior patterns or signs that may help detect a deliquent earlier on.They may also help in measuring whether a child is truly a deliquent or just a rebelious teen.
2.Many children are not deliquents.They may recieve good grades and a perfect S.A.T score.This teens home and social life is most likely more structured and not dysfunctional.I would expect he or she to have at least one ot two parents involved in their life in a hands on manner.A teen who gets good grades and a perfect on their S.A.T's is most likely involved in social and school activities and has had a solid upbringing.Most likely this teens parents are semi to fully successful.Therefore this teen has more to live up too.This teen also lives in an area where everyone else has positive goals and outlook on life.Also the crime rate is low or at least not near this teens everyday view.
Most of the time a career criminal has the exact opposite characteristics than a successful teen.The career criminal ,may be anti-social,have a poor family upbringing,and low self esteem.The career criminal lives in an area where most people are drug dealers,pimps,dead beat mom and dads,and role models that are negative.
1. Problem Behavior Syndrome is behaviors that effect at risk youth such as social problems, this includes family dysfunction and school misconduct. Peronal problems such as substance abuse, early sexuality, and early parenthood. Also enviromental problems such as racism and exposure to poverty.
2. If someone that I don't know gets a good score on the SAT, I may think that he comes from a stable family, may not be in poverty and has people around he/she that gives them encourages them to do good.
A person thats' a career criminal probably came from a bad family and poverty. He probably got into crime at a early age and dropped out of school in a low grade. And probably see thepeople in his communitycommiting crimes almost everyday.
1. PBS is a cluster of antisocial behaviors in youths and juveniles. It includes substance abuse,family dysfunction, early pregnancy, suicide attempts and many others. this information is important to those in the field of juvenile delinquency so they can understand the problems and designs treatments.
2. A young person who gets a perfect score on his/her SAT most likely comes from a wealthy stable home. where he/she can get as much help as possible. both parents. living in a good neighborhood. A career criminal may come from the lower or poor class. no stable house hold or parents either on drugs or prison. he may have been abused. also coming from the lower class, there are more opportunities to be exposed to the crime life.
1. Problem behavior syndrome is a collection of certain behaviors connected to a particular act. For example if a child does drugs, he may have problems at home, may be apart of a gang and/or has committed a crime. This information is valuble to those in the juvenile justice field because if the child doesn't admit to certain problems,the officer can make the correlation and find accurate ways to help.
2. the stereotypical household of the perfect SAT student is two parents in the home, the mom is a "stay at home" wife who takes care of the kids and the dad is a big money maker which means nice house and nice neighborhood, and the child is involved in school activities.
The stereotypical household of a criminal is one parent(mom)who works all day and doesn't have any time to interact with the child,child spends most of his time outside with friends, poor grades, low income household.
Problem behavior syndrome suggest that bad behavior is from multiple problems and not just one factor.Understanding problem behavior syndrome is important when entering the juvenile delinquency system because it is impossible to help children if you dont understand whats going on with them and undrestand what is the driving force behind their actions.
I would assume that the student with the perfect score on his sat`s had a good family structure, lives in a middle or upper class neighborhood and was a well rounded student in school.
I would assume that the carrer criminal grew upin a poverished neighborhood with a single parent and antisocial in school.
1. Problem behavior syndrome are extreme personal troubles that juveniles with an unhealthy lifestyle can experience. These symptoms range anywhere from family malfuntion and not doing good in school to serious symptoms such as using drugs and trying to kill themselves. It is very possible that a juvenile who is experiencing one or two of these symptoms are most likely experiencing more than what is seen by society. With that known, we can start doing some research that might help discover new ways to go about helping the troubled youths.
2. Without knowing a student who gets a perfect score on the SAT, I assume that he would have come from a full-functioning family who cares about his well-being. His environment is full of positive aspects and his social life is on the upside. Knowing him personally, he would be very intelligent, determined, and down to earth. For a career criminal, he/she would have little or no family to guide them. They would also be very troubled and not know how to go about handling life. His/her social characteristics would range from having a bad outlook to being stereotyped and classified as a punk, a degenerate, and of course, a criminal.
The above comment was posted by me. I forgot to type my last name lol.
1. Problem Behavior Syndrome is used in referrence to describing many of the antisocial behaviors that are faced by at-risk youths. A few of these problems may include underachievement in school, early pregnancy, substance abuse, unemployment, etc. This information would be of value to those in the field of criminal justice because it is helping the researchers/experts to construct treatment prevention that provides many different strategies and can relate to all antisocial behaviors and not just one.
2. The child who gets good scores on the SATs probably comes from a family that is highly involved in their life and is fiancially stable. The child may have high moral value and may have grown up in an environment that accepts on ly the best. A career criminal may have had a very neglected family life. He or she may be uneducated and may have grown up in a society where there are low standards to becoming something but where delinquency/crimnal behavior is socially accepted.
Problem behavior syndrome is a fancy name that social scientist came up with to describe certain behaviors patterns associate with negative social behavior. These behaviors includes, teen pregnancy, educational underachievements, suicide, drug abuse, and family dysfunction. Through research they were able to catagorize certain behaviors into clusters. If you are suffering form one behavior in certain cluster you were likely to suffer from another in the same cluster. This would be very valueable to those in the field of juvenile delinquency because it can help them know how to deal with certain individuals. It can allow them to come up with a better plan to help the juvenile. It can also give them more of a understanding so they will know what to expect.
2. If a young person gets a perfect score on the SAT, without even knowing them I will think they were raise in a good stable enviroment, they have a good relationship with parents, mabe grew in the suburds and went to a good school. I will think this person is a honor students and have a good social life. I believe this person cares about their furture. They have a good support system. If a person is a career criminal I would think this person must live in poverty, come from a single parent, they have some kind of mental health problems that have to help explain some of their decision they made in life. Most likely this person droped out of school at an early age, abused drugs and cannot keep stable employment.
1.Promlem Behavior Syndrome is the the term uesed for many of the social problems that at-risk juviniles face, such as family dysfuction and early pregnacy.This information would be of vale to those in the field of juvenile deliniquency because studies have found that kids with to or more social problems are more likely to become juveinile delinquents.
2.If a person got a perfect score on the SAT then I would think this person is a very movited and self loving person.Also that they have a good family stucture and have parents who are also high achivers, this person more than likely does not live in the hood. On the other hand the criminal might have had the total oppisite life style of the person with the perfect SAT score.This person maybe only had one unemployed parent, has no goals for their self and lives in a not so good neighborhood.
1. Problem Behavior Syndrome is a professional way of saying that collective issues in the household, personal life, and environment, create juvenile behaviors. It is vital that people in the juvenile justice system be privy to this information because it lmay show a pattern to why the child behaves in the manner that they do. It allows professionals to look at the problem of delinquency in a multidimensional eye.
2. I would think that the person scoring high on the SAT has a strong family connection where education is an important family characteristic; I think that this person cares what others think of them and feels that they have to fulfill the expectations of others in order to be accepted; and socially, this person has lots of friends, and their friends are on the same level academically as they are. They surround themselves with people of the same caliber as themselves to keep up the image that they feel society has in place.
The career criminal comes from a dysfunctional family structure, there may be some sort of abuse whether it be drugs or physical. There are no expectations for this individual to reach. I think that this person may exhibit aggressive behavior toward him/her self and others. Socially, this person keeps to themselves or may be social towards others like them. When you have no aim in life, you just do what you do from day to day, whether it be rob, steal, kill, or scheme.
1. In defining Problem behavior syndrome I would describe it as the way social scientists observe juvenile deliquency and what causes it. For instance the problems that youth run into like teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, (selling or smoking)and last but not least dysfunctional family situation. The information is valuable because it shows professionals in the field whta the underlying factors are in each case so that you can give the best possible evaluation and treatment plan to each child. It also allows you to take your job just a little further than paperwork or pretending to care like some people who work in the field.
2.When a person get a perfect score on the SAT's the things that may have contributed to it was this person had family or loved ones who instilled in them the importance of education and supported them through learning with them. In a lot of cases just caring about what your child learned or did each day is encouraging also. This person definitely wanted to achieve greatness and do something much better than others who exhibited negative behavior. I also think this individual knew what type of people to associate with and to leave the nonsense alone. Whereas a person without anyone showing that they care about what matters in their lives they will start not to care early on too. This person who turn to being a criminal more than likely had no determination or willpower to say no.
1) Problem Behavior Syndrome can be defined as a group of negative social issues that an at-risk youth may have to deal with. Drug and substance abuse, engaging in sex to early, unplanned pregnancy, thrill seeking, attempts to kill themselves and unpleasant educational experiences are a few examples of characteristics associated with problem behavior syndrome. This information can be beneficial to those in the field of juvenile justice because they can diagnose and treat individuals that have this problem.
2)A child who got a perfect SAT score, would suggest that they came from a loving and nurturing family. One that may have instilled in them the importance of keeping out of trouble. They do well in school. They don't use drugs. A career criminal could come from a family of violence, has problems in school, learning disabilities and lives in poverty.
1. problem behavior syndrome are crisis that influence adolescents,to engage in criminal activities which also might be a contibuting factor to why juvenile commit crimes.
i believe the information will help them in designing treatment, prevention, which will also provide multidimensional strategies to decrease juvenile deliquents.
2.a person who has a great score must have a more stable family, much more attention from his/her parent,lived in an organized area, don't abuse any substance, a good family structure that will help him/her in accomplishing their goal.
a career criminal will meet all these criteria: educational underachievement, family dysfunction, sensation seeking, exposure to poverty and lastly, living in a neighborhood which has a high deliquency rate.
1.Problem Behavior Syndrome is social problems that youth face in their daily life. It could spring from family dyfunction or various types of antisocial behavior such as , substance abuse,smoking, suicide attemps, early pregancy, and more. (PBS) as states that all antisocial behavior have similar developmental patterns.
This information would be value to people in the juvenile field of work because when the have a chance to deal with a child who has P.B.S. then the could indicate what type of methods to use when dealing with the child and they could also know what they are capeable of doing next because according to the text book youth who suffer from P.B.S have develomental antisocial behavior, which mean that they are able to grow to commit more serious crimes.This could also give the person the information on ways to help the youth talk about different prombles and help the to overcome antisocial behavior.
2. The personal and social skills the person with the high SAT score has my be close family bonds with family and friends. Good role models. They may also have guildence from their parents and a goal in life that they are trying to achieve. The enviormental characteristicds that the might have are , supportive teachers, good schools, good health care , and an nice neighborhood. the criminal juvenile might have no family support no good edcation, No words of encourgement. Also no strong family and friend bonds. They may have no good health care and they may live in poverty.
1. Problem behavior syndrome is the negative behavior that is shown, lived and taught that can contribute to the delinquency of an individual. Drugs, alcohol,sex and abuse. It comes in many forms and can be taught by parents, family members and peers. the surrounding life of an individual.
This would be of value to those in the field of juvenile delinquecy because it is can teach us what the causes are and give us a chance to research and hopefully find a way to teach juveniles a different way contstructing their energies.
2.If a young person gets a perfect score on the SAT. I would think that this person has made a decision that there is more to life than jail, crime and death. My son goes to Drexel University, he applies himself so that he can make a better life then his mother had. He doesn't want to struggle as I did so he works hard to achieve more and become a productive citizen.These young people fall under the catagory Prosocial bonds, these are developed within the context of family life, when parents routinely praise children and give them consistent, positive feedback.
1.Problem Behavior Syndrome (PBS) is a group of negative social, personal and environmental behaviors that can be linked to delinquency problems. Some of these behaviors include weak family structure, drug abuse and poverty. Information regarding PBS can be very beneficial for the juvenile justice system. PBS presents an opportunity to understand the underlying issues of delinquent youths. The antisocial behaviors, which comprise PBS, are an indication that youths may require treatment instead of immediate punishment. If the juvenile justice system ignores the possibility that there may be internal/external factors, oftentimes beyond the control of youths, correlated with juvenile delinquency then young offenders may go untreated. As a result, they may develop an extensive criminal career into adulthood, which eventually affects the prosperity of society.
2.In my opinion, if a young person exhibits strong academic devotion, it is a sign that he/she has high aspirations. Taking the SATs reveals that he/she is interested in furthering his/her education in order to obtain a career. This is probably a concept reinforced by his/her family. Growing up in an affluent neighborhood may also be a contributing factor. In order to earn a perfect score on the SATs he/she probably went to a school that thoroughly prepared him/her with prep or advanced courses and PSAT courses and testing. Additionally, surrounded by youths with the same goals and resources to obtain those goals can be a factor as well. In contrast, a young person with a criminal career may not have the conventional goals accepted by society because he/she may not believe that he/she is capable of achieving such goals because of his/her socioeconomic status. It is likely that he/she may lack support from his/her family. More than likely, this individual may be a product of an impoverished environment, which lacks the resources to uplift individuals and sway youths from delinquent activities. Living in an impoverished environment youths watch peers and adults participate in criminal activity. This may signify that there is no other way of life for them and delinquents/criminals may become role models.
1.Problem behavior syndrome is a major problem with young adults. It is a mulitiple of antisocial behavior. These behavior include family dysfuction, substance abuse,smoking, precocious sexuality and early pregnancy, educational underachievement,suicide attempts and many more problems.This is helpful in the field juvenile delinquency because it can help them find a treatment to stop the problem.
2. If a person get a perfect score on the SAT than they have a very good personal,family,social and environmental characteristics. The reason why I say that is because there is nothing holding them back for them to put forth there best effort.
On the other hand if a person is a career criminal. Than they don't have a good personal,family,social and environmental characteristics. Because instead of choosing the good path they keep following the career criminal path.
2) The child who gets a perfect SAT score, you can tell comes from a good healthy family. The child has strong ties with parents and with other peers. Its likely that he/she comes from a stable home. A good neighborhood. The child is most likely to be in after school activities.
The career criminal is most likely one who comes from a broken home, single parent. Lives in a low class neighborhood where drugs and crime are easy to see and come by. The career criminal is more likely to be a school drop out.
