Abstract:
Juvenile psychology is of great importance. In particular, the process of a person's understanding of the
world, the society he lives in, and his environment determine his future steps. This article describes in detail the
processes and manifestations of social existence that cause negative conditions in the formation of the personality
of minors.
Keywords:
Minors, societal views, social existence, behavior, legal perspective, etc.
Introduction:
It is necessary to note that the deviant
behavior of minors is not in accordance with the laws
of adult behavior. In particular, criminology
investigates violations of generally accepted norms of
behavior by criminals, violations of officially approved
or generally recognized norms of behavior by criminals
that are contrary to officially approved or generally
recognized norms of behavior. is explained by the
existence of a special value system. And for this reason,
the analysis of crime, especially professional crime, is
based on the theory of asocial subculture. However,
this approach to minors is not always correct. For
example, often a teenager does not deny the
committed act, does not confess his guilt or violates a
legal prohibition that he does not deny in principle. At
the same time, some experts draw attention to the fact
that children and teenagers from families who are
more materially self-sufficient now fall into the group
of deviant behavior. In general, "today, one cannot say
that any stratum of society is protected from deviant
behavior, every teenager faces influence and
dependence. Financial sufficiency, high social status of
parents cannot be a guarantor of children's compliance
with social norms. It is important to carry out
promotional and educational work through mass media
in the prevention of the behavior of minors. According
to public opinion polls, television is the preferred
source of information for teenagers and young adults.
In this regard, the role of social advertising will grow.
Social advertising with its proposals - stimulates work,
increases the motivation of human activity to achieve
positive goals. Advertising spreads and promotes social
values. It helps to shape the way of life and patterns of
countries and peoples... The social function of
advertising also implies the promotion of lifestyle.
focused organizational influence. Legal education
prevention options are more effective than other
means of deterrence. Because legal preventive
measures usually take some time to take effect after
the act has been committed. In order for legal
measures related to prevention to "work", it must be
placed in the mind of the child, become a part of his
beliefs and experience. This can be achieved by means
of educational influence aimed at a specific goal. As we
know, many crimes committed in our society, including
crimes committed by minors, and in the study of the
factors that cause them, the analysis of negative
situations affecting the moral and moral formation of
minor criminals is of particular importance. For
example, a teenager who witnesses various immoral
behavior in the family or on the street, tries to commit
immoral crimes. Among such crimes, we can see cases
of defamation by minors. Well, here a question arises,
what are the causes and essence of such crimes? Here
we will focus on the conditions and reasons for the
commission of these crimes. Many people are involved
in the upbringing of minors. These are parents, other
older members of the family, teachers in pre-school,

secondary special and higher education institutions,
public organizations, etc. In fact, the influence of those
involved in the upbringing of these minors will have an
impact on their upbringing in the future. The father or
mother in the family is distinguished by drinking or
moral immorality.
At this point, there are different views of different legal
scholars on this matter, and all of them talk about the
importance of the role of the family in committing
immoral acts by minors. In particular, according to the
results of the research conducted by V. Ya. Rubalskaya,
47% of juvenile delinquency is caused by the negative
influence or indifference of parents, 14.8% by the lack
of harmony in the family, 38.3% by the absence of a
father or mother. 23.5% is the basis of committing a
crime due to the indifference of adults. A characteristic
characteristic of adolescents is that they are older
externally and according to their claims, and according
to their internal characteristics and capabilities, they
are still children. This is the reason why teenagers tend
to caress, get attention, and play pirates. At the same
time, in teenagers, together with the feeling of
becoming an adult, consciousness, a sense of self-
worth, awareness of sexuality awakens and is actively
formed. Adolescence represents a set of conditions
with a high risk of exposure to various psychological
trauma factors. According to the sociological research
conducted, there are wars and quarrels between
parents, from the point of view of the teenager, the
presence of defects in them that humiliate the
teenager and others around him, having an insulting
attitude towards the teenager, not trusting him or him.
disrespect is one such powerful influence. All this
complicates the process of socialization of children and
adolescents and, on this basis, causes various
deviations in their behavior. Adolescent rights emdiv
the dignity of all humanity. This means that childhood
is a unique and important period in the development of
the human personality. Human rights begin with
children's rights. The future of any society and all
mankind depends to a great extent on the level of
material and physical development of the young
generation, on their understanding of the role and
importance of human rights in the life of individuals
and society, as well as on their responsibility for their
own fate and actions. The foundations of a legal
democratic state are being built in our country. In this
case, state building is carried out by a young generation
who is legally literate and has a solid grasp of legal
culture. In order to build a great state, it is necessary to
educate a well-rounded person. Therefore, the main
task of today is to educate young people in the spirit of
having a deeper understanding of the system and
essence of the legal state, knowing the basics of the
law, respecting the law, and having a culture of
unconditional obedience to them.
Crime, which has always been a legal problem in
today's era of globalization, is not only a social problem,
but also a psychological problem. Although juvenile
delinquency laws have been in place for a long time,
they are also subject to change from time to time.
Nowadays, the laws on juvenile delinquency have been
changed in all advanced and civilized countries of the
world. Moreover, today, delinquency is seen as a
misbehavior, a social nuisance rather than a crime.
Juvenile delinquency refers to criminal acts committed
by minors. That is, crimes committed by children and
adolescents under the age of 18 are among them. The
maximum age limit and the meaning of the offense
differ in different countries. But always under 18, which
is the legal age of offence. When it comes to the causes
of delinquency, a person's criminal tendencies are
considered as the result of bad deeds of parents in the
previous life. This is obviously a misconception and a
misconception. On the other hand, when a child
develops delinquency, many believe that it is due to the
actions, omissions and assignments of the parents
during childhood. One of the main reasons why minors
commit crimes is emotional problems. Child abuse and
bad parenting causes several emotional problems in a
child. Various observations, case histories, and
interviews revealed that a significantly higher
percentage
of
offenders
exhibited
emotional
disturbances. Feelings of insecurity, rejection by
parents and other family members are the next
important factors that lead to delinquent behavior. All
these data show that various emotional problems such
as insecurity, jealousy, neglect and depression are very
common among delinquent children. Therefore, in
order to bring such young people back to the right path,
it is important to have more spiritual influence, to instill
confidence and motivation in them for the future life.
The family atmosphere, family values are the initial
factor in the development of the individual, which
affects his physical, mental, psychological, and moral
state. Children learn rules and culture of behavior
through their parents. Therefore, the family is the
primary group in which the child forms his ideals, values
and goals in life. Socially negative factors include
unlawful behavior of adults, lack of spirituality of
parents, lack of a normal psychological climate,
predominance of material values, etc. An additional
negative factor is the significant employment of adult
family members, which entails insufficient attention to
children, and often a rather formal attitude. As a result,
children are left to their own devices and are much
more susceptible to various social vices, such as
homelessness, alcoholism, and drug addiction. At the

same time, difficult children can grow up in prosperous
families if the parents are indifferent and insensitive to
the child. Therefore, the root cause of adolescents
taking the path of delinquency is shortcomings in family
upbringing and the absorption of immoral views and
habits inherent in their social environment. Children
find themselves unwitting witnesses to conflicts and
disagreements between parents and incorrectly
perceive what is happening due to immature,
undeveloped perceptions and children's interpretation
of many family problems. This affects the development
of the psyche and develops the desire to prove one’s
truth in one’s own way, outside the family. The extreme
manifestation of such disagreement is the commission
of crimes. All this can cause ridicule and bullying from
classmates, which causes conflicts in the class, group,
leads to reluctance to go to school, section and pushes
to spend time on the street or in other antisocial places.
If the family’s income is below the minimum
subsistence level established by the state, then the
child cannot get all the food at all, which directly pushes
the minor to commit crimes against property.
The main reason remains a lack of communication, and
time is not the only characteristic of the amount of
communication. On the one hand, due to his age
characteristics, a child wants to share his experiences,
joys, and problems with adults, which in their
understanding may not be such a serious issue. The
child needs emotional support, sympathy, or,
conversely, words of encouragement that will give
more confidence in his endeavors and provide
incentive; requires the love of parents, emotional
sympathy, which will help to endure adversity. Without
all this, the child develops withdrawn, cares little about
other people, does not pay attention to social
responsibility, becomes selfish and inattentive, grows
up independent, antisocial and even cruel. However,
on the other hand, the teenager also seeks to find
understanding and support from his peers. These are
not necessarily peers from the street; a teenager can
spend a lot of time, for example, at a friend’s house,
because he feels more comfortable there, or he can
withdraw and live in his own inner world. In any case, a
conflict arises, and it will expand, so in the process of
upbringing, parents and children constantly have to
adapt to each other. Sometimes this process goes
easily, but there are also periods of crisis. If parents
cannot or do not want to spend time and effort on
solving problems, this becomes the starting point of
alienation. Children in such families are left to their
own devices, consider themselves superfluous,
unnecessary, unloved, and strive to spend less time at
home. Parents cease to enjoy authority over their
children and lose trust. The child becomes almost
uncontrollable. There is a loss of communication
between children and parents. At the same time, the
causes of the conflict often lie in parents’ distrust of
their children, suspicion, total control, and the desire to
isolate the child from peers and friends who allegedly
can have a negative impact on him. The teenager
becomes stubborn and will oppose his parents in
everything. He withdraws into himself, becomes
embittered, his emotional-volitional sphere is
deformed, which leads to a reverse reaction - in
contrast to the prohibitions, the desire to do what is
prohibited intensifies. Dysfunctional relationships in
families, cruelty and violence against children,
humiliation of their dignity and coercion into illegal
behavior become facts of everyday life for many
minors. At the same time, the child does not get used
to violence; on the contrary, its constant use
significantly deforms the psyche of the minor and, as a
result, pushes him to his own antisocial behavior. Harsh
attitudes towards children and other family members
are passed down from generation to generation. If
parents have their own negative experiences of abuse
or violence, they take it out on their children. If parents
adhere to the principle “our child is always right,” then
the child does not recognize their authority, and they
show helplessness, preferring to exhort, endlessly
persuade, beg, explain, without using any volitional
influences. In families where parents uncritically
evaluate their children, the latter have serious defects
in the moral sphere and are distinguished by deceit,
cruelty, willfulness and selfishness. The inconsistency
and lack of coordination in the actions of parents in
matters of education and discipline lies in the fact that
one of them allows doing what the other prohibits. One
parent begins to scold the child for actions that he
committed with the permission of the other. There are
sharp emotional changes in relationships with children
- from punishment, tears, claims from the father
(mother)
to
the
touching
and
affectionate
manifestations of the mother (father), which leads to
the loss of parental influence on the children. The child
does not know what to do so as not to be reproached,
and how to please both parents, and as a result, he
stops communicating with them, acting at his own
discretion, tries to be at home as little as possible,
becomes uncontrollable, unpredictable, aggressive,
splashing out negative emotions on others. The use of
physical punishment against minors has extremely
negative consequences. Fathers are usually prone to
this. Domestic violence is an unlawful, socially
dangerous physical, mental or sexual impact on a
person, with a steady tendency to escalate and a high
probability of repetition, committed against or against
the will of the victim, regardless of the actual
consequences of such impact.

Deprived of attention, communication, emotional
warmth and parental support, a teenager with
unresolved problems will turn to a peer group, where
he will be accepted as anyone, but the price for this will
be inadequate. Not finding understanding in the family
or school, and in an effort to increase self-esteem, a
considerable part of teenagers engage in self-
destruction: they drink alcohol, narcotic, toxic, and
psychoactive substances. Among the many reasons
that give rise to crime among minors, dysfunctional
families are one of the most significant factors.
Accordingly, timely and accurate diagnosis of
microsocial causes is required, as well as targeted
impact on both the adolescents themselves and the
families in which they should be raised and not
traumatized. Based on the study, we can offer the
following set of recommendations, the observance of
which will have a positive impact on the development
of the minor’s personality and there
by significantly
distance him from committing crimes and other illegal
acts: improving the general moral climate in families
that are classified as disadvantaged; control over
parents’ compliance with their responsibilities for the
upbringing and financial provision of their children;
organizing a beneficial impact on children from
disadvantaged
families
from
positively-minded
children's groups (school, clubs, etc.); improvement of
measures of legal liability of parents for failure to fulfill
their duties towards children; carrying out joint
preventive measures with the participation of
territorial internal affairs bodies and education
officials; development of a system of corrective
influence on minors whose behavior exhibits antisocial
attitudes. This list is not exhaustive, since when
choosing specific measures, both the individual
characteristics of the minor and the specifics of the
family in which he grew up and which inevitably had a
certain impact on him must be taken into account.
