FAMILY AS A FACTOR IN JUVENILE DELINQUENCY OF FEMALE OFFENDERS

Summary/Abstract: In criminalogy literature and researches prevails the opinion that significant exogenous factor of juvenile delinquency is a bad family environment. The idea has been confirmed by authors' researches in 639 girls juvenile delinquents who made felonies on the territory of Serbia in the period from 1981 to 1985. Results of the researches have shown that deficiency (mostly because of divorce of parents) resul¬ted in certain changes in character of girls juvenile delinquents and provoked lone¬liness and feeling of being abandoned, as well as frustrations which led to agressive and destructive behaviour. In a great number of investigated cases bad family rela¬tions between parents in complete and deficient families manifested in constant conflicts, quarrels, humiliations, physical and psychological mistreatings and contri¬buted significantly to put such girls into the other social groups with asocial beha¬viour, taking their value systems and rules of behaviour. Disturbed relations between parents and girls juvenile which demonstrated in impossibility of having confidence in each other, impossibility of cooperation and loyality, inconsistency and unequality of upbringinig, lack of necessary control and positive identification (specially with mother) - often resulted in flight from home, prostitution anf girls juvenile delinquency.
