(Soziologie), language: English, abstract: The work deals with the
question of what influence parental attitudes and educational practices
have on the development of violent crime among adolescents. At the
beginning the approach of juvenile delinquency is explained. This is
followed by an empirical part in which the development of violence is
explained. Then the connection to parent-child violence is described.
Healthy upbringing and the associated learning of social skills at the
individual level in the form of interpersonal interaction is very
important. Such an education also has an indirect effect on the societal
level, with institutions such as kindergartens and schools now also
having a secondary role alongside parents. socialization instances play
a formative role. As a rule, this ensures that children and adolescents
are steered in the right direction and behave in accordance with
society. However, not every young person is brought up well or healthily
and this can have extensive consequences. Perhaps the worst consequence
could be that they do not accept prosocial attitudes and values.
Prosocial behaviour is desired by society and is in line with social and
legal norms. Conversely, this leads to the assumption that antisocial
behaviour could increase the likelihood of delinquent behaviour.
Delinquent behaviour can have fatal consequences which can have
extremely negative effects within society. This in turn leads to the
question of which factors are responsible for criminal behaviour among
young people.
