Abstract :  Juvenile delinquency remains a critical issue impacting communities worldwide, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its root causes and effective prevention strategies. This systematic review explores the multifaceted origins of juvenile delinquency, including socio-economic factors, family dynamics, peer influences, educational challenges, and psychological issues. By analyzing a wide range of empirical studies, this review identifies key patterns and risk factors contributing to youth criminal behavior. Furthermore, it examines the efficacy of community-based prevention strategies aimed at mitigating these risk factors. Interventions such as family support programs, educational initiatives, mentoring, recreational activities, and community policing are assessed for their impact on reducing juvenile crime rates. The review highlights the importance of a holistic approach that involves collaboration between families, schools, law enforcement, and community organizations. The findings underscore the need for tailored, culturally sensitive prevention programs that address the specific needs of at-risk youth.
