On the weekend of June 1 the Community Center and the T rib a l A d m in is tra tio n Building were broken into. An estimated $2300 worth of damage was done. There were broken windows and broken vending machines as a result? Juvenile delinquency is not a problem confined to Warm Springs. It is a nationwide problem. Other countries also show high delinquency rates, but not all countries do. China is a country with a low juvenile delinquency rate. It is also a country where the basic concept of the family as the all- important cohesive unit of society still remains strong. Adults would not permit a child to misbehave because it would show disrespect for the elders. In Japan the rate of juvenile delinquency is high. It is a place where the family structure has deteriorated. Juveniles know that if they are arrested they will be released into their parent’s custody, stand a mock trial and probably get off free. untortunately the crime becomes a part of that juveniles self image. It will be part of his past. The excitement of it may be a stimulation to perform other crimes. Crime is in a way p sy ch o lo g ically ad d ic tin g . Anything less than that thrill is boring. Between 1913 and 1918 juvenile delinquency in the United States consisted of hanging around street corners and maybe making off with a gallon of milk from a door step. It has mushroomed to include use of d ru g s, w eapons, burglary and any crime an adult might be guilty of. The concept of permissive ness is an effort by parents to be fair and less authoritarian. Most parents are trying to raise Vandalism at the Corrmunity Center their children opposite to the way they were raised. Children are given use of the car, money to spend and much time away from home. But do children really appreciate this structure of living? Children want to know where their parents stand. They want to know exactly what to do in certain situations. They need strong leadership. Living under good supervision gives a child more freedom than no supervision at all. Young people also complain that parents don’t listen. It’s often hard to relate to a person who has not grown up in the same “era” as yourself.This is true for both parents and children. So both parents and children need to be listened to. Both need to learn the ability of listening. O ne p sy c h o lo g ist, D r. Arthur H. Cain, feels that the increase in mother-dominated families seems to parallel our increase in juvenile crime.” Young people need a masculine influence whether it be a father or a male counselor. Cain also emphasizes that juveniles should be able to receive help through the family. He sites the Glueck Social Prediction Table. The table indicates that there are five major factors to be considered in predicting potential juvenile crime. 1. Discipline by the father, 2. Supervision by the mother, 3. Affection of the father, 4. Affection of the mother, 5. Cohesiveness or togetherness of the family. When any of these factors are inadequate the child will have a greater tendency tow ards getting in trouble. Small triumphs over the law are shortlived. Breaking a few windows or vending machines here and there may be a thrill, but does a young person really want to be dong this. It is an attention getter but probably not the kind this young persor really wants. A juvenile’s potential is so tar beyond this. As a familymember, be there when a young person needs you and offer your help to him or her. Try to know what your child is doing and where and how he spends his time. Take some of your time to help teach him how to spend his time.
