Literature available provides us with limited information regarding minority youth engaging in delinquency. The Latino ethnic group is increasing in the United States, therefore it is important to learn more about this group and identify issues impacting Latino youth. This research project aimed to identify the risk factors predisposing Latino youth to engage in delinquency. It also compared the effects of family and individual level interventions. A total of 46 scholarly articles were utilized to gather information about Latino youth risk factors and interventions being implemented with such population. Three influential factors were found among the literature to have an impact on a Latino's youth predisposition to engaging in delinquency. These included individual and family characteristics, and socio-cultural context. These factors demonstrated to be interrelated and influence the likelihood of a youth engaging in delinquency. Family level interventions were found to be more effective in targeting delinquency among Latino youth when compared to individual level interventions. Family level interventions showed that families and adolescents benefit from these approaches in which parents are taught effective parenting skills and youth are provided with life skills.
