With more than 20 examples of the real stories, the article studied the reasons of the girl offenders of juvenile delinquency. Analysis the reasons of family, school and the society through the investigation.This is to the topic of female delinquency. It sheds new light on the special problems of delinquent girls by taking into account what it is like to grow up female in a patriarchal society .It provides updated statistical information and increased information and a more positive outlook on possible future solutions.The prevention of juvenile delinquency is an essential part of crime prevention in society. By engaging in socially useful activities and adopting a humanistic orientation towards society and outlook on life, young persons can develop non-criminogenic attitudes. The successful prevention of juvenile delinquency requires efforts on the part of the entire society to ensure the harmonious development of adolescents, with respect for and promotion of their personality from early childhood. For the purposes of the interpretation of the present Guidelines, a child-centred orientation should be pursued. Young persons should have an active role and partnership within society and should not be considered as mere objects of socialization or control. Family educationWhere a stable and settled family environment is lacking and when community efforts to assist parents in this regard have failed and the extended family cannot fulfil this role, alternative placements, including foster care and adoption, should be considered. Such placements should replicate, to the extent possible, a stable and settled family environment, while, at the same time, establishing a sense of permanency for children, thus avoiding problems associated with "foster drift".
