 Not all crimes in the Philippines are penalized under the
Code; certain crimes, such as the illegal possession of firearms,
are penalized under special legislation contained in Republic
Acts. The most notable crimes now excluded from the Revised
Penal Code are those concerning illegal drug use or trafficking,
which are penalized instead under the Dangerous Drugs Act of
1972 and later the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of
2002.[1][2]

Consequences of crimes and juvenile delinquency

Juvenile delinquency is a big problem that not only affects the
victims of the delinquents, but it also affects the juvenile
delinquents themselves, their family, and even the society as a
whole. The juvenile delinquents may not be able to predict the
effect of their crimes on themselves, but, as stated, they are
seriously affected by these crimes.
Most of these crimes make the juvenile to lose his/her
freedom because he/she may be placed on probation, or even
incarcerated. This will also have an effect on the academic welfare
of the juvenile because he or she will miss academic activities that
will take place during the probation or incarceration.
 In cases where the juvenile is placed in a residential center for
detention of juveniles, he/she may be influenced by more
experienced juvenile delinquents (Barker 1). This will make the
juvenile more likely to recidivate, and suffer the consequences of re-
offense. The delinquency of the minor may even dictate his or her
career choices in the future.
The trauma of having a juvenile delinquent in a family can
potentially create instability for other members of the family. The
family has to meet the needs of the juvenile in trouble, and raise
lawyer’s fees. The family also has an ethical obligation to the victim
of the delinquent. Families are required to attend counseling
sessions as a group. This is normally costly and disruptive (Barker 1).
Juvenile delinquency is closely related to sexual behavior, drug use,
gang involvement etc. All these have a negative effect on the
community because they make the community unsafe, and they
make the government to spend colossal sums of money in school
safety and law enforcement.
As stated, juvenile delinquency has serious effects on a number
of societal groups. It therefore affects the society negatively by
affecting the community, families, individuals etc. The problem also
challenges government agencies, organizations, educators, faith
communities, and politicians alike (Barker 1).
 Social Consequences
of Crimes

Youth, their families, and society suffer multiple

consequences from juvenile crime and related problems.
Both human and economic costs are significant.
The most profound consequence of juvenile crime is the
loss of human life. In 1998, law enforcement made
approximately 2,100 juvenile arrests for murder and
nonnegligent manslaughter. There was a 48-percent decline
in juvenile arrests for murder between 1994 and 1998.
After increasing substantially between 1987 and 1993, the
juvenile arrest rate for murder declined each year through
1998. This large decline brought the arrest rate back to the
levels of the mid-1980's (Snyder, 1999).
Other crimes committed by juveniles also carry both
economic and psychological burdens. Youth
disproportionately commit arson, vandalism, motor vehicle
thefts, burglaries, and larceny/thefts with resultant financial
ramifications for victims. Medical and other treatment
expenses for victims of robberies, rapes, and assaults also
are significant. Families, particularly, may face distress and
added expenses when youth use alcohol or other drugs or
run away from home.

Social costs of delinquency are also significant. In

addition to increased medical expenses and lost years of
productivity for both offenders and victims, there are
tremendous costs related to providing juvenile justice
services. As previously mentioned, incarceration of a
juvenile offender for 1 year costs, on average, about
$36,500 (Corrections Yearbook, 1995).
