The study investigated peer influence and gender on juvenile delinquent behavior among in-school adolescents in Egor LGA.The study empirically confirmed that peer influence and gender significantly contributed to delinquent behavior demonstrated among study participants.The study recommends that parents and educational institutions should sensitize adolescents on the dangers of being involved in delinquent behaviors that would affect their lives in the future.

Further research should explore the influence of personality traits, self-esteem, and parental support on delinquent behavior among in-school adolescents, building upon the current studys focus on peer influence and gender. Investigating the effectiveness of interventions designed to strengthen adolescents resistance to negative peer pressure, such as peer-led counseling programs or social skills training, could provide valuable insights for prevention efforts. Additionally, longitudinal studies are needed to track the development of delinquent behaviors over time and identify early risk factors that may predict future involvement in delinquency, allowing for more targeted and proactive interventions. These studies should also consider the role of social media and technology in shaping adolescent behavior and potentially contributing to delinquent tendencies, expanding on the current researchs scope. Finally, research should examine the impact of school climate and disciplinary practices on adolescent delinquency, exploring whether supportive and restorative approaches are more effective than punitive measures in reducing problematic behaviors.
