Abstract The preceding empirical research examines the traditional and evolutionary research surrounding youth deviance. Deviance is routinely discussed as an adverse impact in a plethora of theories and it is imperative to further develop the knowledge of deviance as society progresses. In this report, the utilized sample group approximately (n=13583) was obtained through a cross sectional survey conducted in 2013 and labeled as Youth Risky Behavior. It was then consolidated into an ideal representation of juvenile deviant behavior and the individual’s social engagement to further examine deviant participation. It was also imperative in this study to take into consideration other circumstantial factors that contribute to the evolving social construction of deviance and previous studies that circulate around similar ideologies. The results conclude that they are subject to some level of complex spuriousness and eludes there is under representations in data if only one determinant is considered. By utilizing multiple indicators in the tabulations strengthened the proposed relationships and thus proved there is an imperative issue with the over simplification and reliance on empirical research on deviance.
