    The oldest known code 400 years ago dating from 2270 B.C. that takes
    account of many misconduct acts, some pertains to the youth.
    Regulates business transaction, personal relationship and responsibilities.

    In the period of the code, the husband was the one in charge with many
    responsibilities to his wife and to their children. In other words, he is patriarchal
    head of the family. In the patriarchal society, rebellion against the father even by
    adult son is not tolerated, the punishment was severs.
    It states that “if the son strikes his father, one shall out only physically
    mutilation but death for many offenses such as drowning in the river.
    Gradually the law was ameliorated, and among the Hebrews punishment
    with death was replaced by warning and flogging.

    2. King Aethelstan of England

    1
    Proclaim that only thief over 12 years of age received the punishment of
    death if he stole more than 12 pence. However the severity of such punishment
    was eventually provided that “no one under 16 years could be put to death
    unless he resisted or run away.

    3. Pope Clemente XI
    In 1704 in Rome, established a center for the correction of profligate youths, so they could be
    taught to become useful citizen.

    punishment.

    3. The gap between male and female involvements status and non-victimizing offenses are smaller than of the
    serious types.
    4. A larger proportion of boys than girls’ reports having broken the law and those boys break it more frequently.
    5. As of the value of goods stolen increases, so does the sex ratio showing male involvement.
