Poor economic background is second important feature of juvenile delinquency. Most of the, juveniles come from low income group. Based on interaction with Juvenile it is observed that most of the Juveniles left their study in between though they wanted to study further but due to some circumstances but they couldn’t due to their family condition, poverty or responsibility etc. Their study interrupted as either they were working somewhere or helping their parents in some kind of work. On the basis of interaction with various juveniles it is reflected that surroundings, peer groups, lust and desire of lavishness, family tensions, and criminal backgrounds of parents are some of the major causes behind delinquent behaviour of the juveniles. On the basis of overall analysis, it has been observed that Juvenile Delinquent possesses Personal Values.  Juveniles who are more educated they possess higher values in compare to those who are less educated.
