What Social Factors Prevent Adolescents to Acquire Appropriate Education in Their Later Life

The choice of the topic for the research is justified by several factors. First, juvenile detention and the further rehabilitation and socialization of individuals acquire the top priority today because of the growing rates of juvenile incarceration. Statistics show that over the past decade, the number of young people with the given experience increased drastically and constitutes about 152 per 100,000 (“Key facts about juvenile incarceration,” n.d.). The given rates differ regarding race, ethnicity, and social status; however, the problem’s scope remains significant. Second, many persons representing the given cohort face multiple challenges when acquiring education in their later life preventing them from getting a job. It preconditions the growth in the crime rates as these individuals have a high risk of committing another crime or becoming a crime group member (Santrock, 2016). For this reason, the improved understanding of social factors preventing young people from acquiring education is vital for the creation of a practical solution to the problem. The proposed theme presupposes the in-depth investigation of the outlined problem, the background of people representing the given group, and people’s attitudes, which might be viewed as factors limiting access to education and reducing the chances to find a good job and rehabilitate. In such a way, the topicality of the selected problem is explained by the need to ensure a better quality of life for young people and provide them with the opportunities to contribute to the evolution of society.
