Part 1: Are tight-knit families the solution to juvenile delinquency? Consider a child in an abusive situation. Discuss options other than foster care or remaining in the abusive family home, determine if the State, parents, or other family members should be responsible for the child, and consider whether there should be stronger legal penalties for child neglect, especially in comparison to child abuse cases.

Part 2: Are inadequate school resources a catalyst for juvenile delinquency? Discuss three inadequacies you believe exist in the American school system, propose at least two ways to improve these inadequacies, and explain why these changes would be beneficial.
