Children and Young with Antisocial Propensity: Theoretical Models for Identification and Social Importance of Prevention of Antisocial Behaviour

Summary/Abstract: Alarming increase of antisocial behaviour among children and young, eroding social values and weakening of the educational role of family and school has resulted in the fact that social integration of the younger generation actually becomes their adaptation on antisocial and deviant environment. The main precondition for overcoming such situation is early recognition of antisocial propensity of children and young because only then, at early age applying psychological and social educational interventions can be effective. This article is founded on empirical findings in the area of psychology of conduct disorders and analysis early manifestations of antisocial propensity and gives us an overview of theoretical models relevant for the early identification of the risk group of children and young. It points to the importance of the social context and prevention of antisocial behaviour including introducing institutional standards and procedures to identify children at risk, as well as strict adherence to the code of professional ethics.
