Juvenile Delinquency Movies
This is a short list of "juvenile delinquency" movies. Some apply directly and a few could be generalized to this topic. Many, if not most, contain potentially offensive content and are therefore "iffy"...if this type of content is undesired. Some are recent, but many are older productions. Also, a number of them utilized non-actors (i.e. kids who actually live like this). Finally, only a couple deal with some type of "corrections" setting...most portray "life on the street."
CAUTION: I am NOT suggesting you view them yourself or show them to a class...that would be up to you. In other words, I'm not necessarily recommending them...just that they represent an array of movies (representing a variety of world locations) about youth and the conditions they live in and what happens to them. So, beware of the content.
You can find a review and synopsis of each of them at All Movie Guide. Just enter the title in the search box at the top of their page.
