Summary/Abstract: The level of social competence is the most influential in an individual’s proper adjustment to functioning in the society. The competence is a derivative of socialization and upbringing. Earlier research indicates that the youth that have not adjusted socially due to improper socialization lacks adequate social competence, which hampers their relations with others. Therefore their rehabilitation should involve acquiring the competence. This article features empirical research findings which show that apart from the ability to behave properly in the case of social exposure, juveniles kept in detention centres declare a high level of social competence. But despite the year-long stay in a correctional institution their level of social competence did not change.
