Crime is breaking the law. Delinquency happens over time when someone continues to do things that are harmful and questionable to others and their property.

Difference between juvenile delinquency prevention and juvenile delinquency control?

The difference between Juvenile delinquency prevention and control is simple. Prevention is pre-crime. Control is post-crime. For example, Boys and girls programs, after school programs and drug abuse programs are prevention. They are trying to prevent the problem from happening. Seaches and sezures, check points, arrests and things of this sort are considered to be control. When you get caught at a check point its not preventing you from drinking it is meant to catch you in the act of drinking and driving. You have already committed the crime.
