This study examines the psychological, behavioural, and social mechanisms that underlie the relationship between adolescent delinquency and high levels of conflict in family situations. Family disputes are become increasingly common in China as a result of growing urbanisation and the expansion of nuclear households, endangering the development of teenagers. In order to investigate how family conflict weakens resilience, produces negative emotions, cultivates insecure attachment, and restricts conflict management abilities, ultimately resulting in aggressive or deviant behaviour, the study employs a systematic literature review, theoretical analysis, and case studies, drawing on attachment theory and other frameworks. Social factors that increase the likelihood of delinquency include low socioeconomic position, problems with family structure, and a lack of support. The study proposes intervention strategies at multiple levels: psychological counseling and parenting support at the family level; legal education and home-school collaboration at the school level; early intervention systems within the judiciary; and integrated community-family- school partnerships. It emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary, longitudinal research to better understand the evolving mechanisms of juvenile delinquency and inform more effective prevention efforts.
