JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SERBIA IN THE PERIOD FROM 1959 TO 1964

Summary/Abstract: Approaching the problem of minor peoples' criminality, the author already in the introduction records that the minor peoples' criminality during the last decade of our time is increasing in all the countries of the world. This increase is specially marked in the countries with a higher economical development and in the countries in which the tempo of the economic development in the post-war period has been speedy and vigorous. To this second group of countries belongs also Yugoslavia, wherein, along with a stirring economic development, came a considerable increase, too, in the minor peoples' criminality. In the post-war period from 1959 to 1964 the average of the increase in minor peoples' criminality in all the country amount to 20,4%. In the Socialist Republic of Serbia this increase is somewhat under the Yugoslav average. But, differently from some other republics of the SFRY, the minor peoples criminality in Serbia shows a tendency of a stedfast and uninterrupted increase. Making use of his own records and tables, the author explains the extent, the structure and the dynamics of the minor peoples' criminality on the territory of Serbia and within the district of Nis to which he is paying a special attention. In expounding the structure of the minors' criminality, the author gives a special review and analysis of the minors' predelinquency and minors' delinquency by examining their movement and mutual relation. The relation between the predelinquency and delinquency in the period observerd stands in a proportion of 37,5% to 62,5%, what means that the minors appear almost twice more as delinquents. Of the acts of predelinquency, the first place is occupied by the infringements of police regulations, to wit: vagabondage, pattering (re-selling of tickets), bullying, etc., then atypic behaviours, such as : escape from home and school, rude behaviour, damaging of plantations, etc. In the structure of the minors' delinquency the first place is occupied by the criminal offences against the property, then the criminal offences against the public order, the. criminal offences against the life and the body, etc. A special attention the author paid to the structura of the minor delinquents as to the sex, the age, the school qualifications, the occupation, the social origin, etc. A section is consecrated to the treatment of minor delinquents. From the records given in this section it appears that in Serbia in 80% of the cases towards the minor delinquents social measures of an educative character have been applied, and only in 20% of the cases the criminal law measures of a educative-corrective character. Finally, in the last section are expounded the causes of the minor peoples' criminality. As there is a great number of causes which are mutually interweaved, the author is classing them in several groups. First of all there are the cause resulting from the post-war massive migration and a stirring process of urbanization; then, there are the causes resulting from the defectiveness of the modern family (over-occupation of the parents, scattering and deficiency of the family): then, there are the causes resulting from socio-pathologic phenomena, such as the: alcoholism, loitering, immoral life, etc., then come the causes resulting from the influence of bad films and rubbish literature, and lastly the causes resulting from the personal deficiency of the minor delinquents, i. e. the endogenous causes.
