6. Other identifiable causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased availability of drugs and alcohol, and the growing incidence of child abuse and child neglect.
【分析】简单句。Other identifiable causes of offensive acts 是主语部分；include 是谓语；宾语部分是由逗号连接的三个并列的名词或名词性短语：frustration or failure, the increased availability 和the growing incidence，其中in school 和两个 of 短语分别作前面宾语的后置定语。
【译文】导致犯罪行为的其他确切因素还有学习受挫，考试不及格、毒品和酒精更容易得到，以及不断增多的儿童受虐和被忽略事件的发生。
【点拨】1) identifiable“可辨认的，可识别的，可确认的”。2) availability “有效，有用；可得到的人（或物）”
