TY - JOUR TI - REGIONAL DISPARITIES AND THEIR CONNECTION WITH JUVENILE DELINQUENCY AB - The purpose of this study is, firstly, to analyze the causes of juvenile delinquency in 26 regions of Turkey and to reveal a profile by grouping the statistical regions with respect to their diversities and similarities, and then, secondly, to confirm the obtained groups by discriminant analysis. The Turkish government defined 26 statistical regions, in accordance with the harmonization process, as modeled by the EU. As a result of the cluster analysis, the difference between the regions appeared in two groups. These groups are confirmed by using discriminant analysis. According to the cluster analysis results, it is surprisingly observed that there is no significant difference among undeveloped, developing and developed regions, and these regions are mixed in the clusters. In fact, it was initially not expected that parents living in developed regions, with high economic and education levels, would be so ineffective in preventing children from being pushed into crime.
