TO THE ISSUE OF MINORS’ DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR AS THE ORIGIN OF AN OFFENCE

Abstract

The peculiarities of younger generation upbringing in Ukraine are considered. Some researches with minors, prone to deviant behavior are analyzed. The main groups of parents in Ukrainian society, whose children become homeless and prone to deviant behavior are investigated and analyzed. It has been revealed that the combination of such factors as own victimous experience, a minor’s family (especially when it is incomplete or deformed) and negative relationships between parents and children in the family leads to the emergence of deviant behavior that can turn into an unlawful behavior. At the same time, the research has shown that it is possible to prevent socially undesirable forms of behavior at any stage of mentally healthy person’s development by means of a complex of socio-psychological and pedagogical measures.
