The main purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between schooling and juvenile delinquency in Taiwan. After collecting 107 aged 13-18 students data by both quantitative survey instruments and qualitative depth interviews, this paper finds that (1) the most influential school factors on delinquency are the teachers\u2019 prejudice to \u201cdelinquent\u201d students, the students\u2019 negative attitudes to school, and the atmosphere of over-emphasis on grades in school; (2) the explanation of negative attitudes on delinquency works more effectively to at-risk and delinquent students than those non-delinquents; (3) schooling has more negative effects on at-risk students than the delinquents and non-delinquents; (4) school factors explain more significantly to the serious delinquent behaviors than misdemeanors. According to the research findings, this paper suggests that schools build a comfortable, friendly environment for students to stay and interact with teachers. Two criteria are suggested to evaluate how the organizational success a high school is: (1) if schools are able to make delinquent students voluntarily stay and continue studying; (2) if teachers are willing to respond hospitablly to the needs of students. However, the conclusions of this paper need to be more carefully applied, due to its relatively small sample size.<\/p>\n
