Summary/Abstract: The main objective of the study was to determine the hierarchy of values of antisocial adolescence. The inspiration for this study was the anomie theory created by R. K. Merton. It provides a basis for understanding cultural and social origins of different types and frequency of deviant behavior. It also provides a foundation to explore various types of social values of people involved in different positions of social structure. The basic research problem attempted to answer following questions: what is the declared hierarchy of values among antisocial youth? How do they perceive their own life and surrounding environment? The study involved 30 pupils of Reformatory School. The empirical study was conducted by a questionnaire.
