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.
