Abstract

The problem of juvenile delinquency has gained much attention nationwide. In the domestic research field, however, there does not seem to be a comprehensive and robust exploration of juvenile delinquency in rural areas. This research examines the current situation of rural minor delinquency and explains the causes of the much higher delinquency rate than urban minor criminality in terms of both reality factors and psychological factors. The loose family connections and failed basic education may lead rural minors to detach from a stable psychological state and thus be more easily lured by the superior material life of criminal gangs and start committing criminal acts. Ultimately, the study proposes three suggestions: reshaping family intimacy; founding the psychological defense; and reducing recidivism. These suggestions may not substantially reduce the crime rate of rural minors, but at least should be the direction of improvement that ought to be pursued today. This study seeks to draw the attention of Chinese judicial and academic field to the crime of rural minors and gradually improve the current situation.
