Abstract

Physiological transformation in juveniles from adolescence to adulthood[1],, namely, emotional, cognitive and physiological metamorphosis[2] leads to deviation, and quite often, criminality. Albeit, factors provoking an adolescent to become a delinquent are rarely of a general nature – is not the family as a primary source of socialization[3] playing a vital role in refining the adolescent as a decent society member? It is a question whether primary educational level[4] either friend bunch[5] give an example to juvenile and create inner self[6] which provides adolescent’s compass direction in this or that way?
