Final answer:

Explanation:

Explaining behavior is the goal of the researcher studying risk factors leading to delinquency in adolescence. By identifying factors like personality problems emerging from early childhood due to biological abnormalities or inadequate parenting, interventions can be developed to prevent delinquent behaviors.
