“…While conduct disorder is a mental and behavioral disorder and the delinquent is a legal term, some juvenile delinquents may be diagnosed with conduct disorder (Kivi, 2022). In Pakistan, there were over a hundred children sentenced to death with or without mental disorders due to the crime they committed, and Pakistan does not have enough juvenile prisons and imprisoned the children in adult prison which caused more harm to the child mentally and physically (Hasan & Adil, 2020). Juvenile delinquents with conduct disorder show more psychopathology and commit severe crimes than those who do not diagnose with conduct disorder (Choi et al, 2017).…”

Adolescents' ability to converse and form meaningful connections with others, as well as to keep up a social network that helps them to avoid isolation, is greatly aided by their level of social well-being. Juvenile delinquents with conduct disorder exhibit more psychopathology and commit more serious crimes than those without a conduct disorder diagnosis. However, it has been proven that positive peer interactions lessen behaviour problems in adolescents where the negative behaviour in teenagers can be diminishes with increased peer support. To explore how the juvenile sex offenders with conduct issues socialized with peers, seven juvenile sex offenders between the age of 14 to 17 with conduct issues were participated in interviews. The data were collected from two detention centers in Selangor and Perak, Malaysia, and analysed using thematic analysis. This study found that social well-being includes social interaction, peers support, closeness in peer relationships, peer acceptance, and a sense of belonging among juvenile sex offenders with conduct issues in detention centers. It is concluded that social well-being is vital in building emotional resilience among juvenile sex offenders with conduct issues. Positive social well-being allows adolescents to move forward and self-growth while negative social well-being regresses the individual in cognitive, and socio-emotional development. The findings demonstrated the significance of adolescents' social well-being, which helps them maintain their health and develop social and emotional abilities in the detention centre.
