Pedagogical appreciation of juvenile aggressiveness: socio-perceptive aspects and readiness of interference

Introduction. The topicality of the research is caused by both traditions of the scientific research of pedagogical social perception and extremely high degree of attention on the side of political, professional and expert community to the problem of education. The pedagogical study of aggression plays an important role in understanding of the strategy for developing programs of improving professional competence of pedagogues and specialists in the sphere of prevention of juvenile delinquent behavior. Aim. Some research problems were examined in order to find the answers to the following problems: the facts that prove aggressive juvenile delinquent behavior, the reasons of juvenile behavior, the reaction of pedagogues on conflict situations and their emotions when they confront situations of aggressive behavior. Methodology and methods. In the process of research different methods were used such as psychological tests, different types of questionnaires and others. More than 13000 of pedagogues from six federal districts participated in the project “Pedagogue as a subject of upbringing of the youth and prevention of delinquent behavior”. The results. Data are given about the fact that pedagogues consider depressed state and aggressive behavior of the child to be the testimony of aggressive behavior of adults towards the child. Boys are more inclined to be aggressive, while the girls try not to show obviously their aggressive behavior. Children from troubled and incomplete families are more aggressive. Attention is drawn to the fact that the main risks of aggressive behavior of juveniles are in the families where the parents are indifferent to the child, do not pay attention to him or her or their requirements are contradictory. The research showed that pedagogues feel trouble, anxiety and fear when they come across conflict situations between the pupils. Practical significance. The results of the research are very important both in the context of improving the programs for pedagogues and psychologists in the sphere of juvenile deviant and antisocial behavior prevention and in the context of educational and youth policy and its tasks.

Optimizing Community Research Report Function at The Prosecution Stage Under the Juvenile Court

The establishment of Law No. 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System was driven by two aspects, those are restorative justice and the diversion attempt. Those two things aims towards out of court settlement revolving around juvenile criminal cases, as well as recovering losses suffered by victims and rehabilitating the juvenile delinquent. Child imprisinment is only used as the last resort. Therefore, it is quite reasonable to consider Litmas recommendation of not imprisoning children. However, this may not always be the case. This paper will then analyze the reasoning on why there still many recommendations from Bapas Community Advisors in the social research reports that are not considered during the prosecution process. This requires9psearch is a normative research completed by analyzing secondary data. This study explains that there are still many recommendations in Litmas that are not considered at the prosecution stage.

7. Subcultural theories

This chapter discusses Robert Merton’s anomie theory, which indicated several possible forms of reaction by individuals who had suffered from the strain of being unable to attain society’s ultimate goal by the institutionalised means made available to them: typically, regular, productive work. For some, the reaction could involve engaging in deviant or criminal behaviour. Merton’s approach was adopted and modified by other sociologists and criminologists, who were interested in studying the behaviour of groups—usually of young people—within a society, which deviate from or totally reject the views of the majority. Such groups are referred to by sociologists as subcultures. The use of the term ‘subculture’ has largely centred on juvenile delinquent gangs. This restriction is unfortunate because subculture is a sociological concept that has a wide application and the relationship with the emotive topic of gangs has, in many ways, proved to be counterproductive.

The influence of parental attitudes on the formation of the personality of a minor with delinquent behavior

The article considers the parental attitude as one of the main factors influencing the formation of the personality of a juvenile delinquent with delinquent behavior. The concept of "parental relationship" and its structure are studied. The author analyzes the features of destructive parental attitudes, such as shortcomings in the educational process, emotional alienation of parents, low moral level of families, deviant motherhood. The differences in the structure of the maternal and paternal relationship are determined. The features of negative relations between parents and minors are described, such as inconsistency, coldness, aloofness, inconsistency, disrespect, and misunderstanding. The authors also consider the causes of deviant motherhood, which consist in psychiatric and intellectual disorders of young women, resulting from violence, abuse in childhood, improper upbringing, as well as due to the influence of social factors, such as the low level of education of women, poverty, and unemployment. The article is written on the basis of a study conducted on the basis of the methodology for diagnosing parental attitudes developed by A. Ya. Varga and V. V. Stolin, parents of minors with law-abiding and delinquent behavior took part in the survey. As a result of the study, it was found that parents treated minors with delinquent behavior more coldly, distanced and alienated, and showed little attention to their lives than to law-abiding minors.

Defining and Understanding the Development of Juvenile Delinquency from an Environmental, Sociological, and Theoretical Perspective

This chapter purports that there are sociological environments, interactions and theoretical reasons as to why some juveniles, as they develop and mature in life, transform from being law abiding juveniles into law breaking juvenile delinquents. Information is presented in this chapter regarding the various environments juveniles live through and what they experience from the people functioning within these environments. There is an examination of how the people, who are models working and living in these environments, influence and shape the behavior of the juveniles. Various theories are presented and discussed as well as the relevance of their value in explaining how observation, processing of information, learning of observed behavior and then replication of behavior with positive reinforcement all contribute to the transformation of a juvenile into a juvenile delinquent.
