Juvenile Delinquency and the missing village
By Dickson Igwe
Juvenile delinquency in the Virgin Islands is a social, cultural, and economic devourer: a ravenous beast. If it is allowed to grow as swiftly as it is growing at present, it will destroy the fabric of Virgin Islands society. Juvenile delinquency can be defeated however, through intervention early in the life of the child at danger, especially the area of learning. It can be further tackled through corrective education during the teenage years of the delinquent.
