A cross-sectional study aimed at examining the reasons for confinement in a borstal institution, and predictors of delinquency was conducted. Data from 147 incarcerated juveniles were analyzed: the presence of conduct disorders, OR D 2.27; 95% CI: 1.05-4.91, and "repeated incarceration", OR D 6.36; 95% CI: 2.06-19.69, were the only predictors of delinquency after regression analysis. These factors play influential roles in explaining delinquency; while the roles of other factors require further investigation.

While much attention has been focused on the responsibilities and concerns of developed countries as well as the advanced developing countries such as India and China, not so much is known about the rest of the world. All nations are suffering from the effects of climate change; do these African countries also feel the urgency? If they do, what mitigation and adaptation laws have they incorporated in their legal regimes? The article concludes that while these African countries recognise the damaging effects of climate change, which is evident by their ratification of the international treaties regarding the issue, their priorities are focused elsewhere. It is therefore submitted that these countries, regardless of their economic status, must be seen to be actively ...
