The phenomenon of recidivism among juvenile delinquents released from rehabilitation centers is a significant social issue affecting both developed and developing societies. This is due to the numerous changes that humanity has experienced, leading to the emergence of various social behaviors related to deviance, particularly among young minors. These minors have been more influenced by these rapid social changes, driven on one hand by technological advancements, which have disrupted social relationships, and on the other hand, by ideological and religious factors, which have historically contributed to social adjustments in terms of the human status of individuals and the division of roles within society. Additionally, psychological factors of social personalities also impact human behavior, both educationally and psychologically, within society. Through this study, we aim to investigate the reasons for recidivism among juveniles who were once inmates at specialized care and reform institutions, where they benefited from educational and rehabilitative programs intended to reintegrate them into society, yet to no avail. This is evidenced by the increasing field statistics of delinquency in its various forms. Furthermore, we seek to shed light on the effectiveness of the educational programs and activities, as well as the extent to which the most appropriate educational methods are employed by educators. These methods vary depending on the activities, whether they are cultural, religious, educational, sports, or vocational training. Given that educators are the direct supervisors of the educational process, as we observed in our previous field study, it became evident that they represent the highest potential for achieving the desired goals. Therefore, it is essential to introduce specialized qualifications for educators and equip them with the necessary knowledge and field experience to address issues related to juvenile delinquency. This will help avoid conflicting discussions and perspectives regarding the effectiveness of protective educational measures in preventing released juveniles from returning to crime and deviance.
