All sorts of theories about young men offending Lilygran. Rebellion, anomie, unemployment, peer pressure, deprived communities, lack of good role models, single parent families, testosterone - take your pick!
IT (Intermediate Treatment) used to be the thing that tended to work because it was linked in with local employment and education, then Youth Offending Services took on the role with teenagers.
Cynically, the old adage about 'the love of a good woman' does indeed have a positive effect on curtailing offending. Young men grow up!
