COMPETENCY-BASED WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONNAIRE
THIRD YEAR LEVEL
1. Parents that do not allow their children to play with their neighbours, or
discourage their children from associating with particular families lead to the children
developing a negative attitude towards the families. Do you agree? Please state and
explain your answer.
ANSWER; I disagree, if the parents only want is to protect their children and
they raised them as a good person there is no negative attitude will developed to their
child, But if they grow up in homes with considerable conflict, and are inadequately
supervised are at greatest risk of becoming delinquents.
2. The performance of the child in school is one of the individual factors that are
likely to cause the child to get involved in violent behaviours. Why or why not?
ANSWER; why not, if the learner is unstable due to the above factors, He or
she has a tendency to be emotionally disturbed, has destructive tendencies, and may
exhibit abrupt deviant behaviour.
3. Do you agree that the best way to treat young offenders is to utilize
multisystemic therapy? Please explain your answer.
ANSWER: I agree, A comprehensive strategy known as multisystemic
therapy focuses on treating the various systems that have an impact on juvenile
offenders, including their families, friends, relatives, and communities. Multisystemic
aims to provide therapeutic interventions that are tailored to the specific needs of
each individual and their environment.
There is evidence to support the claim that treating young offenders using a
multisystemic approach is successful. Studies have demonstrated beneficial effects in
areas like lowering criminal behavior, enhancing family functioning, reducing
substance misuse, and enhancing young people's mental health outcomes.
4. Family should be the main focus of prevention and clinical interventions and the
establishment of social policy and programs should be directed to the family. What
can you say about the statement?
ANSWER: Overall, while family-focused interventions like multisystemic therapy can
significantly contribute to the prevention and treatment of delinquent conduct, it is
important to take into account the larger social context and other variables that may
affect an individual's behaviour. To effectively support juvenile offenders and their
families, social policies and programs should embrace a holistic strategy that
combines family-centred interventions with community resources, education, mental
health support, and other relevant services.
5. School and family are extremely important to juveniles regarding their worldview,
and the failure of those communities to guide them may result in turning to
questionable ideals and morals. Do you agree? Please expand your answer.
ANSWER: I agree the failure of schools and families to guide juveniles can have
significant consequences on their worldview and moral development. These
institutions play a crucial role in shaping young person’s values, beliefs, and
behaviour.
When school and families fail on their responsibilities, juveniles may feel a lack of
guidance, structure, and support. This can lead to a sense of alienation; confusion,
and belonging, juveniles may turn to negative peer groups, engage in risky
behaviours, or adopt questionable ideals and morals from media, online platforms, or
other influence in their environment.
6.
What is the importance of studying juvenile delinquency?
ANSWER: The study of juvenile delinquency is essential for several reasons. It might
be helpful to create effective preventative and intervention methods by knowing the
causes and risk factors of juvenile delinquency. Studying juvenile delinquency can
shed light on the impact of various social and economic factors on youth beha viour. It
can help identify disparities and inequalities that may contribute to higher rates of
delinquency among certain groups, such as those from low-income backgrounds or
marginalized communities. This information can guide efforts to address systemic
issues and create more equitable opportunities for all young people.
