The United States could not afford to look weak from any angle; the idea of Communist nations exploiting moral weakness of any kind was frightening to many. However, the Soviets were already aware of moral issues on the American home front that were affecting the health of the nation, such as civil rights, sexism （sexual confusion）, a rise in fascism, and juvenile delinquency. This study will discuss the investigation of the comic book industry as the sole contributors to juvenile delinquent issues, as Fredric Wertham charged in his book Seduction of the Innocent. In addition, this study focuses on the ways in which Entertaining Comics （EC） pushed the envelope and challenged Cold War standards of ideal middle class values. Their creative resistance led to the federal investigation which nearly destroyed the comic book industry. Through these investigations, the federal government re-defined the first amendment as it applied to this type of media as a way to curtail what they believed was the Soviet Union＇s efforts to use our own literature as a propaganda tool for their people.展开更多

Network not only help young people broaden their horizons, accept avant-garde concept, concern about the world cutting-edge issues, but also spread some violence, pornographic or reactionary spare, as well as network addiction problem which will cause a serious negative impact on the healthy growth of young people and lead to increasing juvenile crime. The number of juvenile criminals has increased every year in China and has trended to lowering ages, regiment turn and malignant development, which will cause great harm to social stability. Of course, there are many causes of juvenile delinquency, but showing characteristics are also diverse.展开更多

A total number of 35 female and male delinquent inmates of Children Correctional Centre in Cross River State and 35 female and male non-delinquents from a normal school aged from 12 years to 17 years took part in the study. The Child Rearing Questionnaire （CRQ） designed by the researcher was used for data collection. Two hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Chi-square was used in testing the study hypotheses at .05 level of significance. The result of the data analysis showed that parental child-rearing style has a significant influence on the three aspects of dishonest behaviour, namely lying, stealing, and truancy, and parents＇ bonding with their children is also significant. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that parents should adopt more of authoritative child upbringing styles. Parents are expected to guide and modify the behaviour of their children to conform with the acceptable behaviours in society as well as participate in activities aimed at preventing crime or disorder being committed by their children.展开更多

Lack of family education in critical period of their growth resulted that young people stay without the right guidance, and the development of self-consciousness does not enter the right track, causing a variety of psychological problems, which if not properly grooming, will become a crime risk, thus affecting the community stable. By focusing on children in the Three Gorges Reservoir area, we understand the causes of crime of rural adolescents, and then take proper countermeasures for prevention.展开更多
