more level of availability of the labelling and strain theory. This theory states that’s as the strain
theory have the assigning the deviation which have the more likely occurring due the existence
of gap sues to the cultural goals an ability to have the achievement achieve that’s goals through
the way of legitimate standard.
There are four level of bias responses which is such as innovation, ritualism’s, retreatism and the
rebellion (McAra and McVie, 2010). As per the strain theory as aspirations have increase and
expectation decline delinquency and number of deviant acts that occur increases in effect to these
changes.
In the case of josh parents are lacking the cultural value which have make the josh as
have the clear level of through to be the having the career as his father in order to have earning
money . On the other hand, the labelling theory have the working on level of basis on their effect
to changes with crime, as behaviour is not important but the reaction to such as behaviour is

place of the severe importance about how the government of the country is taking the step to
have step addressing such type of activity in society. Youth crime in the is increasing at the

Youth crime and diversionary approaches
Youth crime and diversionary approaches have the opportunity as the lack of morality in or
odder to give commixing the crimes. As per thalassic under-17 are responsible for 23% of all
crimes committed by the young offenders. The common reason for crime among children is
admittedly because of the weakest moral sense and generally lack of self-control. As per the
view it has been stated as there the innervation programmes have been structure their level of

be the tasking the place of the regular manners and the level of clear hierarchy which have the
well defining aims which is to have the develop the better social and emotional skills. There is
need to have the policy development which should have the aiming for attaining the three

level of the government projects which have the patenting of itself in the respective corners. this
have the resulted in the exhausted level of idea for change this have the leads level of
manufacturing along with sustained the excursed every level of youth issues. There’s rea various
reason which have the negative level of impacts on the youth justices along with stating the has
sustained and exacerbated the ‘problem’ of youth crime.
There is proper level of indication have been stated in the perfect level of risk managements in
order to be the part of assesieng a risk’ of offending, supposedly present to themselves. This
makes others their risk of offending, reoffending, reconviction or serious harm. Youth and risk
became synonymous. Risk became synonymous with danger, threat and irresponsibility. Risk
and youth needed to be managed (Dollinger, 2019). Two harmful issues emerge which areas
such as
Predications and perscripatison.in the former one has the proper level of responding and
understanding the offending level of preventions regarding the predicted level of risk which
pursuits the controlling agenda ain perfect manner. On the other hand, the later have the

The role of the police in the youth crime palsy an important roles with the contact police
officers in which the young person there is more level of alienability of the labelling and strain
theory which have states that’s as the strain theory have the assigning the deviances which
have the more likely to have the occurring due the existence of gap sue to the cultural goals an
ability to have the achievement achieve that’s goals through the way of legitimate standard. On
the other hand, there other level of challenges which is being faced by the police juveniles by
having the committing the dispassionate level of offences as compared to the population.
T have bene noticed tats the police officer have the riles as the can the court referrals which the
bring the summons and young offenders. There are the police officers have the handle the non-
