 DEFINITION
To define the crime is tremendously difficult since the crime is that one defined conduct like that as the penal code, which is very different as in which country we are. The conducts pushed back by the society are named antisocial conducts and do not have porqué to coincide. The one that commits the only crime is not considered to be a delinquent, but that one that commits them of repeated form and that is considered to be antisocial by the society.
It is anticipated that in the USA one of the 9 children is taken before the courts before 18 years. According to Gold, 88 % of the persons younger than 18 years has committed some crime, of which only 22 % is arrested and un2 % taken before a judge.
CAUSES OF THE CRIME
- One of the causes of the crime there are the biological or genetic factors. Also differences have been in the nervous system and cerebral injuries.
- There exists a theory that he says that the individual who has not had a healthy relation with his parents has not been capable of developing his self-control.
- One is said that what we are is the result of our past, and that therefore the one that commits an offense, is because in the past it has obtained good results doing it.
- Another theory says that it is a consequence of a rupture of ties with the society across an abandonment, academic failure...
- Another theory contributes that the society gives emphasis to the success, inculcates that we aspire to much, but then it does not give the means to obtain it, which provokes frustration. It is a frustrated attempt of adaptation.
- There exist subcultures in which the most admired is the one that commits more crimes.
- It seems that cataloguing even individual as delinquent does that this individual assumes the roll.
RELATED FACTORS
- Sex: There are more men delinquents that women delinquents.
- Skills: There are studies that corroborate the relation between a low intellectual coefficient and the crime.
- Syndrome hiperquinético: (hyperactivity) very impulsive and not reflective Children have more possibilities of committing an offense.
- Egoism: They have big difficulty to visualize the consequences of his action (lacking in empathy).
- Social class: The crime collaborates with marginal classes.
- Family: It collaborates with parents of little moral support that they coerce and punish very much. The early rupture between parents and children is a good crime predictor.
CLASSES OF DELINQUENTS
Several classifications exist, we offer that of Quay and Parsons (1960), for which the most numerous analyses were done:
- Maladjusted immature: Fragile young people psychologically, vagrants and without discipline, dreamers who, on not having obtained his sleep, normally unattainable, get angry with the world.
- Not socialized psychopath: It has not developed the self-control, has assimilated neither norms nor values. They are "moral idiots" for this absence of ethical criteria. Since they have no remorses, they do not learn of the errors, do not mature.
- Neurotic disordered: Solitary individual that culpabiliza excessively and he suffers from depression. They commit thefts, violations... They suffer of depressions (what would never happen to the psychopath).
- Socialized subcultural: He has accepted the norms of his subculture but it turns out that these go against the general culture.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE ONE WHO INFRINGES THE LAW?
Two punishment systems exist: The fine and the prison in any Occident, and these more death penalty in 100 nations, counting the USA. From the sociological and psychological point of view it is not the suitable route since the punishment has always existed and the crime has always increased. The punishment is not affected from the same way to a mind by delinquent, for whom to go to the jail, if it is not an honor, at least is not shameful.
In the last years a new current has been created: the Criminology, which says to us that the punishment not long ago or not at all, and that there has to be psychological, educational treatment, in addition to social opportunities.
The methods proposed by the different branches of the psychology the modification of conduct across punishments only in definitely necessary moments, training in social skills, training in control of the impulses, in analysis and solution problems, in ethics, in negotiation... The method of the community punishment by means of service to the society as system of rehabilitation is another proposal that reduces the penitentiary overcrowding. In the 70 the diversification was proved, to eliminate the jails and to replace them with institutions but it was not successful.
This is a very complex problem that in our society needs more money than it is invested. It is said that we will pay the consequences, because the internment aggravates the problem, we know it, and measures are not taken.
