Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the impact of sports participation on juvenile delinquency. The study aimed to determine the overall magnitude of the effect and the effect size associated with each specific aspect of delinquency. Method: To achieve this objective, a meta-analysis was conducted using Korean journals and studies published between 2000 and 2023. A total of 17 articles that met the selection criteria were included in the final analysis, resulting in 51 effect-size cases. Results: The findings are as follows: The overall effect size of 0.102 indicates a weak relationship between sports involvement and juvenile criminality. Additionally, the effect size of each subfactor of juvenile delinquency was relatively small, ranked in the following order: school delinquency (effect size = 0.134), family delinquency (effect size = 0.117), and social delinquency (effect size = 0.080). Conclusion: In conclusion, mere engagement in sports has minimal impact on the overall occurrence of adolescent delinquency. Therefore, the implementation of structured programs and guidance is necessary to foster the appropriate values in physical activities.
