True or false research has found that school failure causes juvenile delinquency

1 answer

False. Research suggests that while there is a correlation between school failure and juvenile delinquency, causation is more complex. Factors such as socio-economic background, family environment, and individual behavior play significant roles in both school performance and delinquent behavior. School failure may contribute to delinquency, but it is not the sole cause; rather, it is one of many interrelated factors.
