PSYCHO-SOCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF JUVENILE DELINQUENTS OF NORTHERN NIGERIA ORGIN AT A BORSTAL TRAINING INSTITUTION IN NIGERIA
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: There are differences in culture between the northern and southern parts of Nigeria as far as religion, childrearing practices, and socialization of children are concerned. Objective: The aim of this study was to obtain information about juvenile delinquents of northern Nigerian origin since this group has not been much studied and reported in the past. Methods: The Borstal Training Institution at Kakuri, Kaduna was selected for the study. Only juvenile delinquents of northern Nigeria origin and living in the north at the time of encounter with the law and subsequent incarceration were recruited into the study. The interview was conducted using the 74-item Ife-McGill Health and Education Survey Questionnaire. Results: Although the law of Northern Nigeria defines delinquents as children less than 16, persons as old as 29 years were being admitted to the Borstal institution. These children had fairly highly educated parents, in good occupations, from stable homes. Conclusion: It is extremely important for the authorities in Nigeria to be stringent in the implementation and application of the law related to delinquency

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
