Juvenile theft shows a very high incidence and recidivism rate among juvenile crimes. Also, the age of crime is gradually decreasing and there is a trend that is linked to other crimes. Therefore, this study attempted to propose a theoretical framework by exploring and synthesizing the causes and interventions of theft by analyzing the documents related to the theft of adolescents. To this end, 27 academic literature related to domestic and foreign juvenile theft and 9 intervention-related materials were selected and analyzed. Results were as follows. Personal causes related to youth theft include sensation-seeking tendencies, antisociality, impulsivity, low self-esteem, and emotional problems. Developmental issues consisted of peer conformity, the pursuit of superiority, bonds with delinquent youth, juvenile delinquency, and juvenile law. Environmental issues were divided into home and school. In Korea, several programs have been studied based on various theories, but in the case of overseas, there have been very few programs that only target juvenile thefts in addition to the programs that are actually operated in the community. Based on these results, suggestions for follow-up studies related to juvenile thefts and the significance and limitations of this study were discussed.
