I. Introduction
Research project is the collection of data about a certain issue so as to find out the cause and the solution to it. In this research, we are going to look into minor crimes, and what are the factors or variables are the cause of it.
Goal statement: The objective is to find out what type of kids become delinquent in the state of Florida
Independent Variables: The five key variables that will be explored in this research study are, age,
gender
, racial differences, family environment and mental health.
Research questions
I. What do you think about the age-group of kids gets booked for juvenile offenses more often?
II. Kids of which gender are more prone to committing juvenile offenses?
III. Does
race
has any role in juvenile delinquency?
IV. What are the role and the impact of the family environment in juvenile delinquency?
V. Is there any correlation between mental health of the kids and juvenile delinquency committed?
II. Hypothesis/theories
H1: Kids aged 15-16 years get arrested for juvenile delinquency more often than kids from other age group.
T1: A possible theory and explanation for the above hypothesis is that kids at that age are more vulnerable and impressionable and they get influenced easily by movies, peer pressure, and the environment in which they reside. At this stage most of them what to discover and explore what different things and what to acquire knowledge. This is attitude of the kids at that age may make them more inclined to commit juvenile crimes and thus result in them getting more often than kids of the other age groups.
H2: Male kids are booked for juvenile delinquency more than fe
male
kids.
T2: One possible theory for this hypothesis can be that male kids have more violent tendencies compared to their
female
counterparts. Due to this assumption the male are arrested in juvenile delinquencies more than the female.
H3: Kids from
black
families are more often arrested for juvenile delinquency as compared to their counterparts from
white
families.
T3: The possible theory of this is that most black families are poor and due to poverty there is always family conflicts and abuse. Due to these conflicts, the child grows having the mentality of violence as his defense mechanism and therefore, becomes aggressive and violent. It is the possibility that with trouble at home children may behave this way and thus black families are more often arrested for juvenile delinquency as compared to their counterparts from white families.
H4: Kids with troubled family environment and divorced parents are more often arrested for juvenile delinquency
T4: The possible theory for the above hypothesis is that the environment in which a child is brought has a high impact on his behavior. Therefore, we note that a child from a hostile family is likely to get involved in fights which will result into a crime. The family is first social environment to the child and it is upon the family to make their child immoral. For instance, there is no way a drunkard father or mother can tell his child that alcohol is bad. The won’t stop it because he cannot see the effect the parent is still using alcohol
H5: Kids arrested for juvenile delinquency are often diagnosed with some sort of mental disorders
T5: The possible explanation for this is that it is possible that children who are suffering from some mental disorder are not able to process their feelings and emotions well. The mentally challenged children are so violent and aggressive. This can often lead to an outburst resulting in child engaging in violent behavior and getting involved with juvenile delinquency. Mostly those who are affected with mental problems are likely to have used drugs or there parents during pregnancy and so grow up as drug addicts.
III. Sampling procedure
The main aim of this research is to explore and determine what kind of demographic and psychographic factors play a key role in the behavior of delinquent kids in the state of Florida. The key data for this research will be collected from the
Florida Department of Juvenile Justice,
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency prevention, Criminal Court of Florida and the relevant agencies involved after we have been granted permission. This research project will be an exploratory and descriptive project in its nature.
For the sample size selection for this paper, we will be going for the random selection method conducted by the computer and that sample data will then be run for data analysis. For the purpose of data analysis, relevant software will be used to ensure the process is run smoothly and effectively. Possible software to be used for the purpose are excel sheet, SPSS and or SAP. We will also approach the law and order authorities for their cooperation in the research and sharing of additional data as well as insights to support our research and analysis on this subject.
The research project will focus on collecting all the data in relation to child delinquency arrests over the last one year plan and questionnaire with the authorities to get their approval. Once that is done the research will move on to the central task of collection of data. The key parameters to focus on during data collection process are; age, gender, racial differences, family environment and the mental health. There will be also random sampling of information from different including those under the age of 13-18.
With this research project we aim to help the law and order department, the NGOs, and the judicial system to look at this from a proactive perspective and identify potential defaulters on this front. This will help in taking action before and to ensure the children are prevented from committing crime. The results of the final report will be published in crime related journals in the country.

VI. Literature review
Upon review of the article entitled juvenile delinquency and justice in contemporary china a critical review of the literature over 15yrs written by Zhang, Lening.crime, law and social change 50.3(October 2008):149-160, it was found that factors that cause delinquency is the individual factors, group factors and institutional factors.
The article is about child delinquency in china where it states that china is largely populated nation with about 360 million juveniles who are under 18 (pg. 34) and is moving towards a market economy since 1970s juvenile delinquency is also increasing. It was found that youth’s crime has been increasing especially in between the ages of 14 to 18 whereby the youths engage in smoking and drinking making them to commit crimes where they find themselves arrested. Juvenile offenses were compared with other countries and were found that the number of minor crimes in china is lower than the number in other countries like us. This shows how the environment has a significant impact on the child’s behavior.
The research was conducted on group factors such as peer group, gender and youth gangs where it was noted that youth friends were commonly arrested and factors like family also had an influence. For instance the family socio-economic factors were negatively associated with child delinquency. Lack of parental guidance and monitoring was also a cause for delinquency in that girls were more monitored than girls that is why the level of male kids being arrested is high than that of girls.
School as a conventional institution has also a great influence on child delinquency through socialization. School as socializing agent may socialize the child negatively leading to misbehaviors and even taking alcohol. Earlier enough there were no juvenile courts but due to increased numbers of minor criminal the Chinese juvenile system was opened so as to cub the increasing situation and the system included , the police, the people’s procurator rate, the juvenile court and corrections (Zhao 34). In conclusion child delinquency should be corrected when the bad behavior is still in its early stage.
Upon review of an article entitled social influence on juvenile delinquency in Kuwait it was found that the way a child is interacted in the family and community has a great influence in his behavior which may or may not lead to minor crimes? For instance in this article it is stated that the family, peer, culture and social psychological factors have an influence on juvenile delinquency. The analysis of the data was guide by three criminological theories which include social control, social learning and social strain theory. They collected information from 633 Kuwait teenagers from age 13-18 years. The sample was collected from arrested minors and what was found was that the most of the children were poor. This justifies the point that the family background of the child influences delinquency. Due to war that was experienced in Kuwait the number of juvenile has been increasing where by in 19
82
the number rose 87% and 66% of the offenders were immigrants. The research was conducted between 1981-1997. Their main concern was how socialization affects the child into turning to be a criminal.
VII. Data analysis
From the random sampling that was conducted the following data analysis was arrived to in accordance to each hypothesis of the research. The data that was collected was then interpreted in form of table for easier understanding of what was being collected.
Age distribution table per year

|
total |
192 |
10% |
From the above information it shows the number of kids who are arrested and there we note that those who are 14-18yrs are the dominant. This is because at this interval most of the minors are in adolescent stage and so are in the stage of discovery. Due to this most of them end up committing crimes landing them in juvenile courts.
Distribution of gender
| gender |

| male |

58.33 |
||
| female |

41.67 |
||
| 192 |
100% |
From the data (to the left) it is noted that male children are the most arrested because a great deal are highly aggressive more so than the female counterparts and also more females are under better guidance than the males as well. Due to lack of proper guidance from the parents they end finding themselves in bad companies.
Distribution of race
| race | ||
| black |
110 |
52.29% |
| white | 82 |
42.71% |
From the data above the children from Black families are the most arrested due to poverty and many problems from their background/communities. The poverty causes them to enter into criminal activities such as pick pocketing.

The above table shows that most of the children who engage in criminal activities are those who are mentally challenged because they do things that their minds cannot conceive; nor do they ponder the consequences they will come to bear as a result of their actions. The poor families also have a large number of children in delinquency because they become street children so as to be able to cater for themselves.
“Based on a sample size of _________, this produces a sampling error of ________% based on a _______% confidence interval” (Babbie, 1989, p.A32). (still working this aspect)
VIII. Research findings/conclusion
From the data collected from different agencies which may include, Florida Department of Juvenile justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Department of Prevention, and Criminal courts of Florida’ it was found that juvenile delinquency has been increasing as the time goes by. Although people are aware of the minor criminals, communities ignore the facts associated with these future criminals. They are awakened when the child has already grown into adulthood and is now adjudicated as an adult when and in reality the behavior was there when he or she was still a child. It has been found that the male children are the most arrested than the girls because of lack of supervision. Most families give much protection to girls leaving boys to guide themselves and in turn make wrong decision about their lives and end up in bad gangs and are influenced by their peers.
The environment in which the children are reared has an enormous influence in his behavior. Children from poor families have been found in large number because, due to lack of basic needs they end up in the streets just to find means of survival and as a result end up as thieves and small time criminals. Some children are brought up in hostile families where vulgar language is used and when he socializes with others he ends up engaging in fights thinking it is the way to resolve problems.
From the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice it was found that children between the age of 14-18 years are the most likely of children groups who get themselves detained, due to the fact during this age period most of them are in there adolescence stage and therefore are eager to explore what happens in their environment around them. It was found that this is the time most 14-18 years are making friends and also copying the behaviors of fellow teenagers for which they are trying to impress and this places them mostly in bad groups. During the adolescent stage most parents are not keen in what is going on in their children’s life and are left on their own and as a result they end up misbehaving.
In conclusion we note that child delinquency is caused depending on the environment in which an individual is brought in. To prevent this proper guidance is needed for children and also their needs should be met.
IX. Problems encountered
During the performing of this research various problems were encountered and they include:
Lack of time to fully explore the research as was expected, during the research, time was extremely inadequate and therefore the completion of the questionnaire was not fully fulfilled. The interview to numerous different members for data collection was not fully satisfied due to time inadequacy.
Lack of cooperation from the intended persons, during the collection of figures from some people was uncooperative and some did not reply to the questionnaire as it was a required data sheet. Some persons especially the parents were extremely hostile and were not willing and sometimes were not able due to literally factors that prohibited the answering of the questionnaire.
Lack of funds to perform the research, the research required a lot of funds especially for travelling purpose to the intended areas such as visiting the Florida department of law and justice.
Long distance during the research distance and travel became tiresome and also expensive and therefore hindered the performance of the experiment and led to the use of phones for research. The information collected on the phone was brief and limited due to high caller hang ups and time constrains.

INTRODUCTION
GOAL STATEMENT: To find out who gets arrested for Driving Under the Influence more often in the State of Florida.
INDEPENDENT VARIABLES: needs five variables
Gender
Select five and relate the variable to the goal statement..I gave you one .already .you select four more
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1.
What gender is arrested more often for DUI?

ALSO THIS IS ALL THAT GOES ON THIS PAGE!
*NOTE: YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SELECT THE TOPIC OF DUI ARRESTS…THIS IS TO BE USED AS AN EXAMPLE ONLY…DO NOT COPY!
II.
HYPOTHESES/THEORIES
H1:
MALES ARE ARRESTED MORE OFTEN FOR DUI THAN FEMALES.
T1:
The possible theory surrounding this hypothesis is because possibly more men frequent drinking establishments after working long hours and due to the stress of their home lives may be inclined to drink more than females thus encountering law enforcement more often while driving home; and therefore will be arrested more often than females.
You need a hypothesis and theory for each one of your variables..a theory is an explanation of why you believe your statement to be true.
*NOTE: YOU WOULD CONTINUE ON CREATING HYPOTHESES AND THEORIES FOR EACH OF YOUR VARIABLES….KEEP THESE IN THE SAME ORDER AS YOUR VARIABLES AND QUESTIONS. BASICALLY TURN YOUR QUESTIONS INTO STATEMENTS OF FACT.
III.
SAMPLING PROCEDURE
This research project is being conducted to find out what types of demographic factors are involved with those who are arrested most often for driving under the influence of alcohol within the State of Florida. This research will be descriptive in nature. I intend to take a random sample of all DUI arrests per county. This will be done via a computer selection process after all data is entered into a data analysis program such as SPSS or Excel. Due to the accessibility and availability of all police reports through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and various departmental agencies, a cover letter will be sent to all agencies within the State after obtaining prior approvals through governing bodies. Once approvals are received, then data collection will begin. The time frame for collection and analysis will be approximately one year. Questionnaires will be mailed to the Chiefs of Police and County Sheriff’s so they know what data is required for analysis. I intend to review all DUI arrest data for a period for a period of one year. I will gather demographic data concerning gender, race, age, marital status, educational level, employment status, prior DUI convictions/arrests and any other pertinent data that will assist me in this project.
This project is intended to assist law enforcement, corrections, the judicial system and drug and alcohol treatment centers by targeting and hopefully arriving at a profile for those who may be inclined to drink and drive or perhaps have alcohol related problems. This project will be published in an academic as well as trade journal in order to provide future assistance in treating those who have problems and may be inclined to drink, drive and become a hazard on our roadways.
“Based on a sample size of _________, this produces a sampling error of ________% based on a _______% confidence interval” (Babbie, 1989, p.A32).

QUESTIONNAIRE
This questionnaire is designed to obtain the most accurate response concerning the issue of Driving Under the Influence and the characteristics of those who have been arrested for DUI. Please take a moment and fill out the following. Thank you.
INSTRUCTIONS: Please circle the most appropriate response to each question.
1.
What is your gender?
a.
male
b.
female
2.
You will have questions for each of your variables and obviously a question that applies to your goal statement also.

VII.
LITERATURE REVIEW
This section would contain a brief of the journal article that you read. A literature review tells you what other research has been done on your topic. This literature review must be done in APA format and is basically a article brief. You are telling me what another person has said.
You must use only academic journals…not newspapers, Time Magazine, books, internet, etc. IT MUST BE AN ACADEMIC SOURCE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN FULL CREDIT.
See below for example:
Article #1
Upon review of the article entitled “Stages of Change and Self-Efficacy for Controlling Drinking and Driving: A Psychometric Analysis” in the Journal of Addictive Behaviors, by Elizabeth Wells-Parker, Marsha Williams, Patricia Dill and Deric Kenne (1998), volume 23, number 3, it was found that motivation to change and self-efficacy appear as interim measures of DUI intervention programs (p.353).
*NOTE: AT THIS POINT, YOU CONTINUE ON AND TELL ME WHAT THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT…BASICALLY, YOU ARE BRIEFING THE ARTICLE IN APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE PAGES DOUBLE SPACED, APA FORMAT. YOU ARE TELLING ME WHAT THE RESEARCHERS FOUND AND HOW THIS APPLIES TO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.
*** I WOULD PUT ONE ARTICLE ON EACH PAGE RATHER THAN COMBINING BOTH ARTICES INTO ONE MAJOR BRIEF. ****
IX.
DATA ANALYSIS
** PUT ONE DATA TABLE AND YOUR ANALYSIS ON EACH PAGE….DO NOT COMBINE DATA TABLES TOGETHER.
DISTRIBUTION OF GENDER AND DUI ARRESTS
DUI Arrests
Males
1200
(60%)
Females
800 (40%)
Totals
2000 (100%)
The above Table supports Hypothesis H1 which states that more males are arrested for DUI than females. The data suggests that out of a total of 2000 samples, 60% were males.
*** at this point you are probably thinking…heck I have tons of room left over. Basically the room is there in case you want to put in tables, bar graphs, pie charts or other illustrations. THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE EXTRA…ALL I WANT IS TO SEE YOUR DATA TABLE AND YOUR BRIEFLY WRITTEN ANALYSIS.
You will have one data table for each hypothesis/theory

How to calculate sampling error and confidence level from the data table on gender:
.60 x .40/15 = .24/15=.016 and then hit the square root key which gives you .1264911 X 2 = .2529 rounded off to .25 or 25%. This becomes your sampling error and then substract that from 100% = 75% confidence level.
You use this formula to figure out the sampling error and confidence level for your own project.
