The Saints and The Roughnecks article

I have read the saints and the roughnecks article before for my Juvenile Delinquency class so I am very familiar with this particular article. While reading this article I thought it was very interesting. However, the saints and the roughnecks article mainly focuses on Male Juvenile Delinquency. Both groups are juvenile delinquents who commit deviant acts but the saints are viewed completely different by society as well as their own community and neighborhood. For example the saints have their own cars and access to transportation, and they know a smart method on how to get each other out of class without getting caught in which they are also being truant . Because they have access to a car they go to a different part of town to commit their deviant acts therefore, no one from their own town knows just how serious the extent the saints actions are for instance they drive really fast while intoxicated. Yet, on the other hand since the roughnecks do not have have access to a car they have to commit their deviant acts in their own neighborhood and community so they are always under the public's eye and their actions are more visible. the roghnecks commit less serious crimes compared to the saints and commit their deviant acts less often than the saints but yet the roughnecks are caught and taken in by the police more often they are labeled by their neighborhood and community as being delinquent and in the view of their public and the educational system they are seen as not going to go very far in life and that their future isn't looking to bright and will become criminal. Juvenile Delinquency for girls is not the same as Juvenile Delinquency for boys. In our Juvenile Delinquency class we learned that you have to acknowledge that working with girls is not the same as working with the boys. Delinquency in girls can occur because they need strong women role models and influences in their life and if that functional dynamic is lacking things become dysfunctional delinquency in girls can also occur to due to broken homes, violence, rape, abuse, and neglect. However, Delinquency in boys occurs mostly due to peer pressure and the influence of their peers can cause delinquency in the boys. Furthermore, I also saw Symbolic Interactionism being used the most within this article. Symbolic Interactionism looks for symbols and meanings within a social problem and this particualr article had alot to do with symbols and meanings.
