How does the family socioeconomic status affect recidivism rates among juveniles?
Proposal:
My research question is: How does the family socioeconomic status affect recidivism rates among juveniles? I want to find out how different social environments affect juveniles and how, in each environment, the amount of money plays a role. With this, I want to know if there is a higher rate of recidivism in lower socioeconomic areas that make it more likely for juveniles to commit a crime again. A factor to look into that can play a role in this is race and whether different races are more likely to recidivate than others. This is interesting to me because disproportionately juveniles make up a higher percent of crime then they are in the total population. So with that I want to know if some juveniles are just bad apples and make up a majority of the crime as a minority or are the majority of juveniles being delinquent and breaking the law.
