The problem of adolescence delinquency is a worldwide social phenomenon. Of most concern is the impact of delinquency on the adolescence, their families, and the society at large, and the relationship between delinquency and adult crime, which has also been on the rise. It has been argued that delinquency leads to adult crime and therefore a lifelong career. There is need therefore to deal with adolescence delinquency to curb the trend of adolescents maturing to adulthood with criminal behaviours. This book therefore provides the factors that needs to be considered if the rehabilitation will achieve its aim of correcting and reforming the delinquent adolescents into productive citizens. The author has paid particular attention to the availability of rehabilitative programs, rehabilitative qualities of the rehabilitators, parent's involvement and the rehabilitation environment. The analysis of these factors should shed light on measures that would enhance the performance of the rehabilitation institutions. This should be useful to the policy makers, administrators and rehabilitators in the institutions in the formulation and implementation of rehabilitation policies and practices.
