The social disorganization theory connects to juveniles, suitable to the circumstances that this theory backs up the opinion that one of the initial reasons of juvenile difficulties is the disorganization of their social structure.  Some social disorganization theory zero in on the association between neighborhood structure, social control, and crime.  Currently problematical and experimental work on the relationship between community traits and crime has led to significant clarification of social disorganization theory.  However there still remain some substantive and systematic deficiencies in this frame of work.   This report will discuss these matters and outline some new and  improved directions towards social disorganization theory.

        The social disorganization theory correlates to juveniles, due to the truth of the matter that this theory upholds the belief that one of the chief causes of juvenile problems is the disorder of the social structure.  This indicates that the social situations that these juveniles find themselves in, possess an enormous bearing on the possibility of these particular individuals  participating in unlawful behavior.  According to (Kornhauser, 1978; Bursik and Grasmick, 1993; Sampson and Groves, 1989), Current versions of social disorganization theory assume that strong networks of social relationships prevent crime and delinquency.    

The theory shows that when most community or neighborhood constituents are familiarize and are on good  terms with each other , a strong  part of the grown-up residents have the possibly to sway each  child.  The greater the network of associates, the better the neighborhoods potential for easy monitoring ,on the grounds that all tenants are easily recognized from all outsiders, for supervision on account of  associates are ready to step in whenever kids and young adolescents  act unappropriated, and for shaping young children’s esteem and attentions.   According to the existing theory, neighborhood  traits such as poverty-stricken and ethnic diversity has led to greater crime rates because they hinder with the publics capacity to function with each other.      

Social disorganization theory point out that quite a few variables - residential uncertainty, racial diversity, family turmoil, financial standing, community size or compactness, and closeness to inner-city- sway an ethnic groups limit to improve and uphold strong  systematic procedures of human relations.   To examine the theories  relevant to non-cosmopolites environments, this report will delve into the ties between these cultural groups adjustable and  rates of  breaking the law because the very same  blood ties furnishes the same essence of experimental assistance for this theory in our municipal surroundings.   In addition, it also seems that the more unsatisfactory and impoverish the situation is within the social group that juveniles live in, the better chance that these specific juveniles will be involved in negligent activity.   Accordingly, this appears to be a similarity between an elevated balance of destitution, lay-off, shortage of social programs, very high felony rates,  and very low graduation fulfillment rates, and the volume of juvenile misconduct that endure on the inside of these specific communities.
