Abstract Juvenile delinquency remains a persistent challenge in contemporary society, with far-reaching implications for individuals, families, and communities. This research paper examines the multifaceted nature of juvenile criminal behaviour, exploring the complex interplay of risk factors that contribute to delinquent activities among youth. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical evidence, this study analyses various crime prevention strategies, ranging from early intervention programs to community-based initiatives and restorative justice approaches. The paper identifies key risk factors including family dysfunction, educational disengagement, peer influence, socioeconomic disparities, and community disorganization. Furthermore, it evaluates the effectiveness of different prevention models, highlighting evidencebased practices that demonstrate promising outcomes in reducing juvenile offending rates. The findings suggest that successful crime prevention requires a multi-systemic approach that addresses individual, family, school, and community-level factors simultaneously. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on juvenile justice by providing insights into effective prevention strategies and offering policy recommendations for stakeholders working to reduce youth crime and promote positive developmental outcomes.
