Introduction

Among great variety of the manifestations of juvenile deviation of behavior, with its social significance, delinquency draws a special attention, in particular, with its aggressive manifestation.

Objectives

Our task is specification of psychopathological peculiarities of two forms of aggressive behavior of delinquency.

Methods

Fifty delinquent juveniles from 14 to 18 years of age (inclusive) have been examined. Two forms of aggressive manifestations have been picked out: non-pathological: 36 (72%) and pathological: 14 (28%).

Results

Non-pathological aggression basically is conditioned by the influence of micro-social negative conditions and stress situations. The contents of aggressive acts are closely connected with the peculiarities of characterological features; aggressive behavior is characterized with an episodic appearing, less severity and is often manifested in threatening. Marked cruelty, sadism and vandalism are found comparatively seldom. The violation of social adaptation is found in them in stresses, stipulated with negative micro-social factors; they are more manageable and comparatively quickly regress.

The peculiarities of pathological aggression are represented by super valuable and sadistic manifestations, comparatively seldom–with signs of dysphoria. The aggression, stipulated by pathocharacterological reactions is manifested in the form of pathologically super valued and affective situational acts of behavior.

Conclusions

Aggressive behavior of delinquency is chiefly observed in its non-pathological form, which can be explained by the hard social-economical background, visible growth of aggressiveness in an immense part of population, moral and ethic deprivation and frustration. The society itself is a certain indicator of aggressiveness.
