在青少年的生活中，休閒執行著極為顯著的功能。然而有關休閒對於非行青少年的負面討論卻是常被規避的，非行少年所從事的休閒活動也因此被貼上標籤，被歸納為負面或是偏差休閒活動。許多相關的議題都尚待被發現與解決。本研究將探討休閒對非行少年與他們對休閒的認知，與了解非行少年所從事的偏差休閒休閒活動。並深入去分析參與偏差休閒活動之原因和參與偏差休閒活動後的影響。
本研究結果發現非行少年參與偏差休閒活動的主要原因為：家庭不完全與家庭教育，學校教育，結交從事相同偏差休閒活動的朋友與同儕，個人動機如: 找尋刺激，與沒有錢。研究結果也顯示出，偏差休閒活動在非行少年生活上造成的影響與他們參與偏差休閒活動的原因非常相似。有一些影響，像是錢或是同儕的壓力，甚至會成為他們去參與不同偏差休閒活動的新動機與原因。
