Abstract :
“Confrontation with the persistence of delinquency in the shadow of progressive criminology”AbstractInstitutional measures of criminal justice and the assistance of civil establishments only along with thoughtfulness can address an unescapable phenomenon such as social deviance. The crisis of delinquency and persistence in criminal behavior is not a one-time incident without transition from different periods, but it is preceded by causes and components that can grow and evolve in the fullness of time. This attitude that today’s professional criminal is the yesterday’s precocious accomplice is the backbone for studying scientific approaches which are cited in the practice of growth-oriented approaches in psychology and criminology. In this perspective, the delinquency of children and adolescents requires a distinguishing yet special scientific approach, so that by accepting that delinquency is a dynamic and stable phenomenon, not only early detection will become probable through screening children and teenagers exposed to delinquency, but also by putting them in preventive programs, they can be prevented from turning into super-delinquents over time. Based on this, the following article is qualitative in terms of descriptive-analytical method, which, in addition to identifying the risk factors in the emergence of persistent delinquency among children and adolescents, expresses solutions to confront this phenomenon.
