Abstract

Abstract: Introduction. The urgency of the research issue due to the consistently high level of juvenile delinquency, the growth of repeat offences is substantiated. The results of the empirical examination conducted in the period from December 2018 to May 2022 with the participation of 103 juveniles who committed criminal and administrative thefts are presented. Methods. The following psychodiagnostic tools were chosen: standardised multifactor method of personality research (L.N. Sobchik), method of diagnosing the tendency to deviant behaviour (A.N. Orel); sensation search scale (M. Zuckerman); method of subjective feeling of loneliness (D. Russell, L. Peplo and M. Ferguson). Results. The author concludes that committing a crime occurs with various leading personality characteristics of a minor. However, there is a number of characteristics peculiar to the examined minors with delinquent behaviour, which form the mechanism of « committing crimes»: expressed need for sensations, traumatic experience, feeling of loneliness, low level of psychological well-being, distorted ideas about one’s own future. The ideas about one’s own future are expressed in the shift of value orientations from pro-social to destructive and escape from reality. Temporal perspectives are characterised by short-term periods accompanied by the desire for easy gain. This can act as a predictor of further unlawful behaviour. The delinquent potential of minors is supported by various deviations in behaviour: from addiction to open opposition to the norms of law. The identified forms of deviant behaviour for minors provide personal selfrealisation, which allows them to maintain a high level of self-esteem. Minors with delinquent behaviour are characterised by an intense feeling of loneliness and a sense of their own insignificance, leading to an accumulation of negative emotions and, as a consequence, disturbances in interaction in the social environment. The need for feelings as one of the characteristics of minors with delinquent behaviour is implemented in situations of disregard for social norms, which, in the absence of appropriate and timely forms of psychologically corrective work, can lead to the consolidation of delinquent behaviour.
