ABSTRACT

Obviously, something is going on in today’s society if more and more children are committing delinquent crimes.  Sometimes a researcher has to get to what he or she thinks is the root of the problem to figure out what spawns a certain issue.  What provokes a child to become delinquent and what makes the child gravitate so easily towards this lifestyle?  This study explores how family life influences juvenile delinquency in Lagos state. It is focused primarily on Lagos State, which is one of the most populous cities in Nigeria and is the commercial nerve centre of the country. Juveniles are more likely to become juvenile delinquents if there is little structure provided for them in their families.
