This study aimed to identify key contributors to delinquent-prone behavior among adolescents in conflict with law, examining variables like age, personality traits, emotional intelligence, and family environment. Using purposive sampling, a cross-sectional survey was conducted with 106 male adolescents aged 14 to 18 from observation and special homes in Tamil Nadu, India. Findings reveal that age and family structure significantly influence delinquent prone behavior among adolescents. Younger juveniles, aged 14 to 16, are particularly prone to such behavior due to the complexities of adolescence. The nuclear family structure notably impacts deviance. A positive correlation exists between emotional intelligence and a supportive family environment, indicating that juveniles from nurturing backgrounds exhibit better emotional well-being. Additionally, a positive correlation between delinquent prone behavior and personality traits underscores their significant role in delinquency. Understanding these relationships is vital for mitigating such behaviors. The study underscores the importance of personality traits and emotional intelligence as predictive indicators of delinquent prone behavior among juveniles, offering valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and mental health professionals addressing deviance. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
