This paper is particularly concerned with discovering the causes for young people within the context of becoming possible offenders. It is a great concern of everyone and particularly of prison social worker, who can play a major role in the life of a young offender. There are several factors which cause young people to become offenders around the globe. There is a considerable debate about how the young as creative, vibrant, realistic, and potential they are, become offenders due to diverted behavior. However there is some uncertainty about the accurate cause for their offending behavior. It is highly important to note that cause of an offence by young offender differs from individual to individual. One becomes an offender due to certain factor and the same factor does not affect another individual to become an offender. There is a great disagreement amongst researchers that offensive behavior raises with age, it is more common after puberty and increases over the course of adolescence. It is rather difficult to know how often young people involve in an offending act. There is also a widely accepted hypothesis that young people who commit an offence rarely have certain reason but act as friendship sake. According to the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) crime by young women has remained stable while crime by young men has rapidly doubled in the past few years. Hence this paper is an attempt to discover the underlying causes for young offenders and also to trace out the other factors that constitutes the same.
