JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN NORTHERN TRANSYLVANIA
Abstract:
The growing criminology during the years after
the removal of Communism is an obvious phenomenon
and the one regarding minors makes no exception. The
research of data highlighted by the forensic psychiatric
evaluations in three counties in the north of Transylvania
showed the fact that the phenomenon of juvenile
delinquency had an upward trend, the boys being the
overwhelming majority of the involved subjects,
especially those living in the urban environment; the
factors that cause conduct disorders with judicial
implications are represented by the low social, cultural
and economic background. The low educational level is
almost a constant as it records a high rate of school
abandonment in the very first grades; an important role is
played by social and family anomy; in the great majority
of cases, despite the lower cognitive level (influenced to a
great extent by the educational deficiencies and the weak
motivation for the resolution of administered tests), we
noticed the presence of discernment reported to the deeds
that were committed which attracts penal responsibility;
as for the sanctioning regime, educational measures are
preferred.
