Abstract
Delinquency among students is always a concern in any educational institution. This research was conducted to conceptualize an Intervention Program to mitigate student-delinquency. Also, this descriptive-correlational research employed total enumeration. Frequency counts, percentages, average weighted mean, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze the data gathered using standardized tests and constructed questionnaires on factors of delinquent behaviors and extent of delinquency.
Findings show that: a) most respondents were male adolescents, middle-born, have low family income and have fairly satisfactory academic performance; b) respondents have moderately low self-esteem and moderate level of emotional intelligence; c) they have good family relations, a poor relations to their teachers, and have very good relations with peers; also, d) they have moderately intense delinquencies with prevalence four to five times per week and had a duration of one year; further, ยข) male and younger respondents with lower family income tend to have greater chance of committing delinquencies; while, J) respondents with low self-esteem and empathy would likely lead to delinquent behaviors; lastly, g) weak school relations and their being peer-centered widen the chance of more engagement in delinquencies.
