ISTRAŽIVANJE RIZIČNIH FAKTORA ZA NASTANAK RECIDIVIZMA KOD MALOLJETNIH DELINKVENATA
RESEARCH RISK FACTORS FOR THE OCCURRENCE OF RECIDIVISM IN JUVENILE DELINQUENTS

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of the research is to determine whether there is a significant correlation between the socio-demographic characteristics of families and juveniles and recidivism in the commission of criminal offenses of juveniles. The investigation covered juvenile delinquents - perpetrators of criminal offenses, regardless of the type of crime and the type of legal sanctions imposed. The framework of this research included a total of 161 delinquents. The first group of variables consists of general data on respondents. The second group of variables are related to the sociodemographic characteristics of the family. The third group of variables are those related to the intensity of juvenile delinquent activity. The fourth group consists of those related to the behavioral disorders of juvenile delinquents. The fifth set of variables are those related to the education of juveniles. Among the variables found statistically significantly related to recidivism are younger age, birth order, juveniles whose parents have lower education, those whose father works in lower-paying jobs, aggressive behavior of juveniles, school leaving, some forms of addiction (sniffing and tabletomania), changing school environments and repeating school classes frequently. The birth order increases the chance of recidivism four times, and the biggest contribution to the possible occurrence of recidivism is the change of school because this variable increases the chance of recidivism by 7,3 times. The variables of older age, success in school and higher education of parents showed a protective value in relation to recidivism.
