Tam, Kai Yung; Heng, Mary Anne; Bullock, Lyndal M.
Preventing School Failure, v51 n2 p13-17 Win 2007
In this article, the authors address correctional education and juvenile delinquency. The authors examined the case files of 54 juvenile offenders incarcerated in the Kaki Bukit Center Prison School in Singapore to analyze the antecedents that provoked these young offenders to commit the offenses. The juveniles reported that peer influence and peer pressure, provocation and anger, boredom and thrill, alcohol and drugs, and money were the principal reasons they committed the offenses.
