Multiple social concerns impact schools by generating barriers for young people. The phenomenon highlights the vulnerability of the demographic and the importance of implementing various techniques to minimize potential risks affecting individuals in this age group. One of the concerns that require examination and confronting is juvenile crime. Juvenile crime in Guyana remains a topic that correlates with the limitations of the current justice system in the country. In this paper, the subject will be discussed from the perspective of the nature of the problem, agencies directly working to combat it, diversity measures, and personal involvement in addressing the education concern.
Current literature on the topic highlights existing concerns correlating with the rate of juvenile crime. Namely, researchers highlight a potential rate of 65% when it comes to recidivism (Barnes-Ceeney et al., 2021). Needless to say, the juvenile justice system does not correlate with the adult one when it comes to punishment and other elements. Namely, the system is designed to recognize the potential danger correlating with a person yet address it in a way that the offenses are not repeated (Barnes-Ceeney, Morse and Aziz, 2021). The social problem is also linked to the education system as in cases where the youth is detained for a longer period; individuals are less likely to have formal education and, hence, access better jobs in the future.
Diversity is a subject that is integrated into the broader theme through the concept of interpersonal relationships between social workers and teenagers. Namely, diversity would allow more individuals to see themselves being represented among people assisting them. As an education field worker, I can directly impact the situation by making sure the youth who had trouble with the law are not discriminated against in the education system, receive improved detention conditions, have rights that are protected and are later on reintegrated into society.
