The present research paper aimed to identify intellectual delinquencies and their factors among youth and suggest ways of prevention from the perspective of youth and social workers. Therefore, it adopted the descriptive analytical approach and applied a questionnaire to a sample of (209) students aged (18-30) years at some Saudi universities and (90) social workers. The results showed the highest intellectual delinquencies among youth from the perspective of youth and social workers, the (family, societal, personal, and educational) factors, and the suggested ways of prevention. The study recommended establishing a special unit at the university to provide training courses to students to develop their skills and raise their awareness about current issues, such as intellectual delinquencies.
