Risky behaviour are those that potentially expose people to harm, or to significant risk of harm which will prevent them from reaching their full potential. These are ill-advised practices and actions that are potentially detrimental to a person's health or general well-being. This type of behaviour is normal and is considered part of the development process from childhood and adolescence into adulthood. However, there is a limit to this sort of behaviour which, when crossed, strays away from normal/ experimental/ curious behaviour to behaviours that put children and young people or others at risk and could intensify the behaviour to a detrimental stage.

Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen’s routine activity theory was used as the theoretical framework for this paper.
