FAMILY LIFE QUALITY AND ADOLESCENT ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR: THE ROLE OF PROTECTIVE AND RISK FACTORS IN CRIMINAL ETIOLOGY
Abstract
The research aim was to examine the role of family life quality in the aetiology of antisocial behaviour. A multidimensional nine-part questionnaire was implemented during 2015 with 1300 participants aged 15-16 (N=799, 60%) and 17-18 (N=496, 40%) in Croatia. Boys reported higher delinquent behaviour (p<,001), antisocial behaviour and criminal acts (p<,001) and parental approval of risk behaviour (p<,001). Older adolescents reported more delinquent behaviour (p<,01). Adolescents with lower academic success reported higher risk of family surroundings (p<,01), higher parental approval of adolescent risk behaviour (p<,01), and more delinquent behaviour (p<,001), and antisocial behaviour and criminal acts (p<,05). Adolescents from incomplete families received higher scores in risk of family surroundings (p<,001), family violence (p<,001) and parental approval of their risk behaviour (p<,001). Adolescents from incomplete families reported more delinquent behaviour (p<0,001) and antisocial behaviour and criminal acts (p<,001).
