It analyzed CICL profiles in terms of age, sex, education, socioeconomic status, group membership, and offense committed, as well as factors influencing delinquency, including sociological influence, cultural transmission, family disorganization, and peer influence. Preventive measures such as parenting skills, informal control, social services, and community mobilization were also assessed. Using purposive probability sampling, data were gathered from CICL, BPCCOs, CSWDOs, and P/Gs CICL through a normative survey questionnaire based on Sprinthall and Collins (2014) and analyzed using frequency count, percentage, mean, one-way ANOVA, and SPSS. Findings showed that most CICL were near-matured males from impoverished backgrounds, often affiliated with fraternities or sororities, and commonly engaged in vandalism. Peer influence (x̅=3.37) was the strongest predictor, followed by family disorganization (x̅=3.01), cultural transmission (x̅=2.89), and sociological influence (x̅=2.82). Prevention strategies, including parenting skills (x̅=2.61), informal control (x̅=2.86), social services (x̅=2.97), and community mobilization (x̅=3.07), were found effective, with no significant differences in respondent assessments. The study recommends strengthening barangay-operated youth institutions, conducting social investigations, and implementing localized intervention strategies per R.A. No. 9344 and R.A. No. 10630.
