La capacidad de la escuela como un lugar para la prevención de la delincuencia

THREAT IN THE SCHOOL

Crime

General information

Schools have great potential as a locus for crime prevention. They provide regular access to students throughout the developmental years, and perhaps the only consistent access to large numbers of the most crime-prone young children in the early school years; they are staffed with individuals paid to help youth develop as healthy, happy, productive citizens; and the community usually supports schools' efforts to socialize youth. Many of the precursors of delinquent behavior are school-related and therefore likely to be amenable to change through school-based intervention.

School environment factors related to delinquency include availability of drugs, alcohol, and other criminogenic commodities such as weapons; characteristics of the classroom and school social organization such as strong academic mission and administrative leadership; and a climate of emotional support. There are several factors that lead a person to become a criminal for example:

• Social factors: Childhood behavior is repeated in adolescence; the bad use of the free time; lack of family the environment

• Economic factors: The economic crisis; the migration; the unemployment; the inflation with the passing of the year.

• Political factors: The corruption in all the social strata; the loss of ethical and moral values.

• Environmental factors: One of the factors in addition to the neighborhood, may be the group of friends

Among the family factors that may have a negative influence can include:

• The level of parental supervision.

• The way to discipline children by parents.

• Parental conflict or separation.

• Parents or criminal brothers.

• Parental abuse or neglect.

• The quality of the parent-child relationship.

Studying criminal behavior

Delinquent and criminal behavior: Crime and delinquency includes the full range of acts for which individuals could be arrested. It includes crimes against persons ranging in seriousness from murder to robbery to minor assault. It includes an array of crimes against property ranging from arson to felony theft to joyriding. Crime and delinquency also includes possession, use, and selling of drugs. For juveniles, it includes status offenses such as running away. Dimensions of crime that are often measured distinctly in evaluations include age of first involvement, status as a delinquent ever in one's life, current criminal activity, and frequency of delinquent involvement.

Withdrawal from school: Leaving school prior to graduation and truancy are often used as measures of success in prevention programs. The precise definition of truancy differs according to location. For practical purposes it is often measured as the number of days absent from school.

Conduct problems, low self-control, aggression: These characteristics are so highly related to delinquent behavior that they may be considered proxies for it. Studies of school-based prevention often measure these characteristics in addition to or in lieu of actual delinquent behavior because the subjects are too young to have initiated delinquent behavior, the questions are less controversial because they are not self-incriminating, or teachers and parents are more able to rate youth on these characteristics than on actual delinquent behavior, which is often covert. Conduct problem behavior subsumes a variety of behaviors: defiance, disrespect, rebelliousness, hitting, stealing, lying, fighting, talking back to persons in authority, etc. Low self-control is a disposition to behave impulsively, and aggression involves committing acts of hostility and violating the rights of others.

Hypothesis

Rock music and some programs on TV promote crime in the school.

Specify information

The school environment was a risk factor used in contributing to antisocial behavior. Schools can be differentiated by their organization, location, teaching methods, teacher attitude and a number of features, such that different schools can influence crime patterns of boys, especially in reference to the number of children allowed with behavioral problems.

Crime has a number of causes and factors that influence a particular human being to commit a crime, not just unemployment, the economic crisis and family breakdown which promote crime in schools, in addition to these us also rock music and some programs on TV.

• Rock music

Rock music represents a certain group of people, or events, or attitudes; and defined as a "lost generation of people who do not fit." Most of the criticism aimed at current popular music stems from the assumption that “content” (the attitudes, values, and behaviors portrayed in lyrics) may influence how young listeners think and act. Not surprisingly, it is a concern that emphasizes the negatives, such as violence, misogyny, racism, suicide, Satanism, and substance abuse.

Articles have even been written with headlines like “Hard rock music creates killer mice!” based on high school science-fair experiments in which groups of mice were trained to run mazes. Groups of mice listened to classical music, hard rock. The classical mice became faster in running the maze, whereas the hard rock mice became slower.

It is difficult to deny that music has become more aggressive and edgy over the decades. Years ago, the Everly Brothers sang, “When I want you in my arms, all I have to do is dream.” In
