The book entitled "Socially maladapted behavior of children and adolescents" stemmed from the author's desire to present in one place the most indicative forms of socially maladapted behavior of children and youth, and present them as they occur in certain stages of growing up. We have supported all forms of socially maladapted behavior with numerous examples and newspaper articles in order to present this social problem as objectively as possible. The content of this book is actually an introduction to the field of social pedagogy. Although we have dealt with numerous forms of socially maladapted behavior, we have focused on socially maladapted behavior of preschool children, peer violence, electronic violence (cyberbulling), and juvenile delinquency. These four forms of inappropriate behavior are certainly the most risky and the most recognizable in the media, in this time we live in. Considering numerous classifications of behavioral disorders, there would certainly be some criticism from the scientific aspect, due to the choice of these topics, but from the aspect of social pedagogy and its subject of study, we believe that these topics are the burning problem of our society when it comes to socialization and healthy growth. We believe that it is especially important to present and analyze these deviant phenomena at children and young people in one place, in order to actualize behavioral disorders and see the consequences they cause. For preschool children, it is evident that there are numerous indicators that indicate socially maladapted behavior of children at that early age. Therefore, it is very important to identify such behavior by preschool children and provide adequate professional assistance, so as not to lead to more serious consequences and disorders in the later development of personality and social behavior.

Communication is the exchange of messages between the recipient and the recipient of messages. It is successful if the interlocutors understood the message equally. The word of communication literally means to do something general or common. Communication is the basis for communication. It becomes the cause and consequence of all interactions among people and thus forms the basis of human survival. If communication is not clear enough or the information is vague and the views of individuals are different, conflict can occur. Conflicts are an indispensable part of human functioning, and successful management becomes more and more important to them. Conflict management is a process and activity aimed at preventing the dysfunctional and destructive consequences of conflicts and directing the energy of conflict situations in order to understand the real problems that confront us and to identify the rational solutions for their overcoming, and this is only possible through communication. In this book, we have investigated the relevant bibliographic sources dealing with various aspects of communication. In terms of the conceptual definition of communication, we have identified the genesis of its development through the time and importance of communication in contemporary civilization. As the conflict and its resolution are the focus of this work, we paid particular attention to the etiology and the process of conflict management. We have surfaced and presented some of the successful conflict resolution models. This book can help researchers dealing with specific phenomena of communication processes, as they have shown the relevant theoretical settings of the art of communication.

We know that adequate treatment and successful re-socialization of sentenced persons in penal institutions implies the use of modern forms, methods and means of work, carried out by competent and motivated educators. It is a common opinion that most educators, in their initial education, did not receive adequate preparation for work in penal institutions, ie. that there is a gap between the theoretical preparation of educators in initial education and the requirements for professional engagement practices. There is a need for new knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as an opportunity to improve them. It is this scientific monograph that points to the general and specific competencies of educators in penal institutions, as well as the motivation of educators to learn and improve, that is, lifelong learning and professional development.
