The findings of the study revealed that lack of parental attention, divorce and environmental challenges are the major causes of delinquencies as expressed by the respondents. There was no significant difference in the causes of delinquencies as expressed by the respondents based on age, but there was a significant difference on the causes of delinquencies as expressed by respondents based on family type. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that an enlightenment programme should be organised to enhance strong bonds among juveniles, parents, guardians and community leaders. Parents should be encouraged to pay more attention to the needs and care of their children and wards, while counsellors should be employed and posted to juvenile homes in order to reduce cases of delinquencies and reform the juveniles.
