Social Impact of Violent Behaviour in Young People in the Republic of Macedonia
Social Impact of Violent Behaviour in Young People in the Republic of Macedonia

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this work is not to present the many forms of conflicts there are in society, but only those where physical force is employed. Therefore, the subject of analysis will be the type of violence that arises from individual interrelations or from the relations between the individuals and small social groups within the young population. Such phenomena can be thus defined as socially negative and ask for a more thorough approach, one that would require researching the type, manifastion, intensity and other characteristic of violent behaviour. The most frequently used terms in defining social relations of violence are: antagonism, conflict, opposition etc. Violence and other socio-pathological phenomena are elements of social dysfunction and disorganization. Hence, the sociological study of these phenomena can help reveal the causes and conditions of their appearance in society as well as their immediate consequences of integration of the individual into the social system. When it comes to the system and especially the individuals and the groups most affected by violence, their affects are most adverse. Our primary focus is going to be on the specific condition of the young population within the Macedonian societym because of the fact that the violent behavior in young people is one of the most prominent form of violence. Violent young people commit crimes more often, but there are other manifestations of violence that are on the rise, too. All of these cases of violence in young adults contribute greatly to the overall number of deaths, injuries and disabilities. What also needs to be pointed out here is the close relation between violence in the young and other forms of violent behavior.
