Juvenile robbers: their disturbed rationality and innovative ways of restoring it

 

Ðåçèìå:


 

Summary:


The selected research results obtained by the authors allow drawing a few conclusions on the psychosocial factors underlying juvenile robbery and suggested preventive and remedial measures. Aggressive behaviour is an important element of robbery.  Aggression may be a useful tool in the fulfilment of material as well as other needs; e.g. seeking stimulation and the achievement of a high position in the hierarchy of a group of hooligans or criminals. It seems that the main motive for robbery in the case of juveniles is connected with the kind of socialization they have experienced.

Despite many years of developing various methods of crime rehabilitation their effectiveness is considered surprisingly low. The research results on juvenile robbers conducted by the authors indicate that underestimating the biological determinants of crime may be the cause of this state of things. The rationalization of the juvenile delinquents therapy process should involve not only increasing the accuracy of the psychological diagnosis, but above all introducing neurological diagnosis and possibly psychiatric diagnosis. What is also important is the individualization of the methods of therapy on the basis of this complex diagnostic process.
