It is undeniable that today crime is a fundamental problem that society must face to prevent it. Criminality as a negative social phenomenon is not only characteristic of the adult population, but often also minors appear as actors...

The growth of any civilization depends upon the children who are the yardsticks to measure its success. Children are the most vulnerable group in the society, and they are in need of greatest social care. The changes in the society have influenced the children to commit crime and through these changes the juveniles are heading towards the path of crime.

IN PSYCHIATRY, as in any other branch of medicine, diagnosis and as full as possible an understanding of etiology and pathology are prerequisites to the prescribing of a treatment program. Unfortunately, in problems of delinquency, often the factors at play are more complex than in most diseases and, therefore, treatment needs are also more complex amid less clearly defined. Delinquency, of course, is not a diagnosis but a symptom. The delinquent act is like fever or a swelling; the factors underlying it are multiple and varied. I shall try, somewhat in summary form, to describe treatment nee...

This qualitative study was designed to compare genders on the influence of peer relationships contributing to delinquent behavior. Information was obtained through interviews with 10 male and 10 female incarcerated juvenile...

SIR,-In your restrained and helpful leader (Feb. 2, p. 167) you speak of the Socialist Medical Association being "content with nothing that stops short of the socialization of medicine." May I enter a plea once more for the use of the word "nationalization " rather than "socialization " when we use the term in the sense of "any form of service which leads directly or indirectly to the profession as a whole becoming full-time salaried servants of the State." As I pointed out in my Cardiff address (Journal, March 17, 1945, p. 357), to " socialize " medicine may mean only to make medicine more ac...

Association of Probation Officers began to give attention to problems that might arise if the experiences of f 1914-18 had to be endured again, for juvenile delinquency becomes a serious distraction when everyone is occupied in winning a war. The first World War found the community unprepared for any serious change in the behaviour of young people and when an increase in indictable offences occurred in 1916 hasty efforts were made to cope -with the situation by means of juvenile organisations’ committees. As a preliminary steep, in anticipation of a similar experience the National Executive Co...

Perhaps less significant (and generally less popular) are such techniques as the parable, anecdote, field trip, panel, exhibition, etc. For the most part, the reports of actual practice tended to approximate rather well what the instructors indicated as &dquo;ideal&dquo;-a situation not exactly commonplace in higher education today. The tendency, in 1948 at least, was toward a rather significant allocation of time to the informal lecture and the discussion (5’0 per cent and more) and, what is to me surprising, about 10 per cent to the formal lec-

The subject matter of this paper is the concept of juvenile delinquency, its conceptual distinction from the concept of juvenile crime and other forms of juvenile deviant behaviour. The conceptual framework of a phenomenon is never a matter of purely linguistic and terminological designation because the definition of a concept has a significant impact not only on the social response of public authorities but also on the attitude of individual members of the specific society towards the phenomenon. This issue is particularly important when it comes to the socially unacceptable phenomena, such a...

In this research paper, the researcher used a qualitative approach which is data collection in the juvenile delinquency topic, and differential association theory which is the most prominent form of social learning theory. The researcher hypothesized that there is a linkage between having deviant parents and becoming a criminal as well as having deviant friends and becoming a criminal. In this paper, the researcher found that the effect of deviant peer groups and deviant parent during adolescence is quite similar. Both peer groups and parents have an important position in the teenager’s...
