Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency (crimes committed

by young people) focus either on the individual or on society as the major

contributing influence. Theories 1 on the individual suggest that children

engage in criminal behavior 2 they were not sufficiently penalized for

previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through 3 with

others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit

crimes in 4 to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status, 5

as a rejection of middle-class values.

Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from

disadvantaged families, 6 the fact that children from wealthy homes also

commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes 7 lack of adequate parental

control. All theories, however, are tentative and are 8 to criticism.

Changes in the social structure may indirectly 9 juvenile crime rates. For

example, changes in the economy that 10 to fewer job opportunities for

youth and rising unemployment 11 make gainful employment increasingly

difficult to obtain. The resulting discontent may in 12 lead more youths

into criminal behavior.

Families have also 13 changes these years. More families consist of one-

parent households or two working parents; 14 ，children are likely to have

less supervision at home 15 was common in the traditional family 16 .

This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile

crime rates. Other 17 causes of offensive acts include frustration or

failure in school, the increased 18 of drugs and alcohol, and the growing

19 of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the

probability of a child committing a criminal act, 20 a direct causal

Text 1

Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across

CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success

but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent”. It’s an

interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location,

title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the

database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property and

Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an

opening. “I struck gold,” says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the

employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.

With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising

openings can he time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need

for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for

Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may

work against you: “Every time you answer a question you eliminate a

possibility,” says one expert.

For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept—what you think you

want to do—then broaden it. “None of these programs do that,” says another

expert. “There’s no career counseling implicit in all of this.” Instead, the

best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of

jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to

check the database again. “I would not rely on agents for finding everything

that is added to a database that might interest me,” says the author of a job-

searching guide.

Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When

CareerSite’s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its

service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs—those it considers

the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will

have to visit the site again to find them—and they do. “On the day after we

send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic,” says Seth Peets,

vice president of marketing for CareerSite.

Even those who aren’t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some

use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather

information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise.

Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. “You

always keep your eyes open,” he says. Working with a personal search agent

means having another set of eyes looking out for you.
