Key concepts in this essay

Root causes of youth crime
Role of parenting vs structural factors
Evidence on intervention effectiveness

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Oversimplifying the causation—parents matter but poverty, peer groups, and policy also drive crime
Ignoring implementation challenges (how do you reach parents at risk? What if parents are unwilling?)
Not discussing other effective interventions (economic opportunity, policing, sentencing policy)
