Delincuencia

Delincuencia, or delinquency, refers to criminal behavior or activities that violate laws and regulations. It often pertains to actions committed by individuals, particularly minors, who engage in illegal acts such as theft, vandalism, drug offenses, and other forms of misconduct. Delinquency can encompass a wide range of activities, from minor infractions to serious crimes.

In legal terms, delinquency is usually associated with youth, contributing to the broader category of juvenile delinquency. It is the involvement of young people, typically under the age of 18, in activities that are classified as criminal under the law. The focus on delinquency often includes considerations of social, economic, and psychological factors that contribute to such behaviors.

Efforts to address delinquency may involve rehabilitation programs, community service, counseling, and other interventions aimed at preventing further criminal behavior and reintegrating individuals into society. Overall, delinquency represents a challenge for legal systems and communities as they seek to balance accountability with the possibility of rehabilitation.
