Résumé

Juvenile delinquency is a global problem that is increasingly influencing every segment of society. In today’s world, juvenile delinquents are rapidly rising as a crime every country, either developed or developing. Ethiopia is one of the less developed countries in Africa and the world, which has certainly faced the major problems of juvenile children. The objective of this study is to identify the causes of juvenile delinquency in the Wolaita Ethiopia Youth Correction Center. For this study, a descriptive and explanatory research design and a mixed research approach were employed. The present study was carried out in the youth correction center in Wolaita, Ethiopia, with a sample of 150 included in the study. Based on the results of the multiple linear regressions, there is a positive relationship between the predictors (family, economy, culture, communication, substance, and mortality, education access, and school attendance) and outcome (effectiveness of CBT), and there is also a negative relationship between the predictors and the value of beta (peer, broken family, and parenting style).Therefore, we conclude that all concerned bodies should give due attention to the major causes of juvenile delinquency identified by this study by shouldering the intervention on each problem identified as a cause of juvenile delinquency in the study area.
