dc.description.abstractDelinquent behaviours have been identified as one of the challenges hindering academic performance of the adolescents. This study therefore investigated causes of delinquencies as expressed by juveniles in Borstal Training Institute Ganmo, Kwara State, Nigeria. The moderating variables in the study comprised age and family type. Descriptive research design was adopted for the study and simple random sampling procedure was employed to select 150 juveniles. The instrument used to generate data for the study was "Causes of Delinquencies Questionnaire (CDO)" the instrument was validated by experts in the field of counselling and educational psychology and the reliability coefficient of 0.68 obtained after a test retest administration of the instrument. The collected data were analysed using t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. 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 respondents based on age, but there was a significant difference in the causes of delinquencies as expressed by the 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 prevent cases of delinquencies and reform the juveniles.en_US
