Some research problems were examined in order to find the answers to the following problems: the facts that prove aggressive juvenile delinquent behavior, the reasons of juvenile behavior, the reaction of pedagogues on conflict situations and their emotions when they confront situations of aggressive behavior. Methodology and methods. In the process of research different methods were used such as psychological tests, different types of questionnaires and others. More than 13000 of pedagogues from six federal districts participated in the project “Pedagogue as a subject of upbringing of the youth and prevention of delinquent behavior”. The results. Data are given about the fact that pedagogues consider depressed state and aggressive behavior of the child to be the testimony of aggressive behavior of adults towards the child. Boys are more inclined to be aggressive, while the girls try not to show obviously their aggressive behavior. Children from troubled and incomplete families are more aggressive. Attention is drawn to the fact that the main risks of aggressive behavior of juveniles are in the families where the parents are indifferent to the child, do not pay attention to him or her or their requirements are contradictory. The research showed that pedagogues feel trouble, anxiety and fear when they come across conflict situations between the pupils. Practical significance. The results of the research are very important both in the context of improving the programs for pedagogues and psychologists in the sphere of juvenile deviant and antisocial behavior prevention and in the context of educational and youth policy and its tasks.

The article considers the parental attitude as one of the main factors influencing the formation of the personality of a juvenile delinquent with delinquent behavior. The concept of "parental relationship" and its structure are studied. The author analyzes the features of destructive parental attitudes, such as shortcomings in the educational process, emotional alienation of parents, low moral level of families, deviant motherhood. The differences in the structure of the maternal and paternal relationship are determined.

The Relationship

The aim of this research was to establish the relationship between social support and juvenile delinquent behavior after the juvenile delinquents’ assessment of the quality of social support. The research was carried out employing a method of theoretical analysis and a descriptive-analytical survey method. A Social Support Scale (Abbey, Abramis and Caplan, 1985) and a Youth Self-Reported Delinquency and Risk Behaviors Questionnaire (Ručević, Ajduković and Šincek, 2009) were used as the research instruments. The research sample consisted of 205 juveniles from Zenica-Doboj Canton who had at least once committed a felony or misdemeanor. The research results suggested that juvenile delinquents receiving a higher level of social support are statistically significantly less likely to exhibit all forms of delinquent behaviors: misdemeanor and less serious forms of delinquency, undesirable normative behaviors, risky sexual behaviors, the use or abuse of psychoactive substances, violent behavior within close relationships, theft, burglary, robbery, suicidal and self-aggressive behaviors. It was concluded that strengthening the quality of social support contributes to the prevention of juvenile delinquent behavior.
