RESILIENCE AND JUVENILE DELINQUENCY: ROLE OF FAMILY
Keywords:
family, juvenile delinquents, correctional treatment, resocialisationAbstract
Disturbed relationships in a family and its dysfunctionality can present a prerequisite, but often a cause of juvenile delinquency. If there are no harmonius family relationships, a family environment is quickly transformed into one of the most influential factors of juvenile delinquency. With this in mind, the author points to the extent to which the family structure and some of its characteristics may contribute to the development of criminal behaviour in minor age. This empirical research features inmates of the Banja Luka Juvenile Correctional Facility and their respective families in order for the causes of criminal behaviour of the former and characteristics of the latter to be examined. The results gained mostly reveal that inmates originate from incomplete and dysfunctional families, which is reflected in their criminal behaviour. In addition, these results are important for corrections officers as well, who create and implement respective correctional treatments upon which the success of inmates' resocialisation deepends.
