Abstract

Objectives

In recent years, juvenile delinquency has continued to occur at a high rate, necessitating attention to its criminal psychological process and underlying risk factors.

Methods

This study acquired psychological review data from 97 juvenile delinquents in China. Utilizing qualitative analysis, we delved into the psychological processes and risk factors that contribute to juvenile delinquency, aiming to reveal the psychological mechanisms involved.

Results

The research summarized the psychological process through stages of cognitive deviation, psychological numbness, and belief remodeling. The risk factors identified in juvenile delinquency encompass three aspects: criminal cognition, criminal motive, and criminal connection.

Conclusion

Cognitive bias emerges as the initial and crucial stage in the genesis of juvenile delinquency, stemming from a complex interplay of internal and external factors.

This research contributes significantly to the field of mental health education of minors, aiding in the prevention of future juvenile delinquency and providing an empirical reference for improving minors' mental health literacy. Furthermore, it suggests that organizations such as families, schools, and communities should optimize their practices in disseminating mental health knowledge, strengthening mental health protection, optimizing mental health services, and constructing a comprehensive mental health service system.
