Difference between delinquency prevention and delinquency control?
Delinquency prevention focuses on implementing programs and initiatives to prevent youth from engaging in criminal or antisocial behaviors in the first place. Delinquency control involves interventions and strategies to address and manage delinquent behaviors once they have occurred, such as through law enforcement actions or judicial processes. Preventing delinquency is about stopping it before it starts, while controlling delinquency is about responding to it after it has occurred.
