The Influence of Family Migrations of Juvenile Delinquents on Objective Living Conditions of the Family

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper was to examine whether there is a difference in juvenile delinquents who migrated under objective living conditions as opposed to those who did not participate in migration. Some researches show that objective living conditions in families of juvenile delinquents such as education of parents, employment, economic status of family etc. are worse than the conditions in families of non-delinquents, and can thus present a risk to the occurrence of delinquent behaviour. Data obtained in this research on a sample of 458 juvenile perpetrators of criminal acts indicate that there are statistically significant differences between juvenile delinquents who migrated and those who did not in most variables dealing with the objective living conditions in the family. This result indicates that migrations can be observed as risk-causing influences on objective living conditions in the family and thus have an indirect impact on the occurrence of behaviour disorders, antisocial, deviant and delinquent behaviour. Minors coming from migrant families as well as their families need specific assistance in the receiving society in order to help them adapt to the new environment and healthy living and development.
