Disturbed relations with adults as a key factor in socially harmful behaviours. On the basis of current criminals’ experiences

Summary/Abstract: The research tackles the reconstruction of childhood experiences of nowadays adult recidivists. The qualitative reconstruction analysis was applied to explore the experiences of child-parents/caretakers relations, embracing two groups of respon¬dents. The first group included young persons aged 22 to 30 (25 persons), whereas the second embraced older persons aged 40 to 50 (15 persons). The aim of the research was to capture the childhood experiences and parental pattern of behaviour towards own children. Another crucial aspect concerned description of activities that occurred during early demoralisation, subject to comparison within both groups. It is worth to emphasise that both groups essentially differ not only in terms of the age, but pre¬dominantly in terms of period of socialisation as their childhood took place in 1970s and 1990s, hence concerned entirely different social conditions in Poland of that time. The attempt to generalise the childhood experiences and reference to the results of the analysis to the general specificity of the pathogenesis process among penitentiary recidivists was equally essential.
