I have tagged the lead section of this article as having extra information about cognitive dissonance of young people that is not covered in the article. The purpose of the lead section is to provide an accessible overview to the whole article. See MOS:LEAD. The information in the lead should be in the body of the article too. See WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY. While the body of the article mentions cognitive dissonance theory, that mention doesn't explain the explanation given in the lead section. When I read this article, the lead seems to provide a relatively clear summary of the delinquency spiral, but the body of the article read like it has been copied from some academic journal or somebody's course assignment as it has little resemblance to the clarity of the lead section. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 09:55, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
