The findings confirmed that youth delinquency is a multifactorial phenomenon, as supported by both the interviews and previous research. The result of this study identified key factors, such as family relationships, educational engagement, economic conditions, peer associations, and social belonging, all of which could act as either risk or protective influences. Furthermore, family therapists described family therapy efforts as focused on early intervention and collaboration, aiming to strengthen family relationships and prevent youth from entering or remaining in criminal environments.
