Juvenile delinquency refers to the behavior of the young
people that violates the legal and social norms ranging
from minor to serious types of actions which are against
the society and family values (Champion, 1992). Young
people involved in deliberate criminal acts take illegal
advantage of the opportunities and continue with their
criminal acts to become adult criminal. It has been
considered that young people are at risk of delinquency
who has suffered difficult life experiences like poverty,
family dysfunction, substance abuse, childhood abuse
and broken family. Further, unstable social
environment, poorly developed skills and negative
influence of peers predispose the young to delinquency.
This paper investigates the socio-cultural factors and
their influence on young people in adapting delinquent
behavior in Pakistan. The paper also presents a
historical background about the deviant behavior and
presents statistics on the on trends in juvenile
delinquency in Pakistan.
