How parenting styles influence delinquent behavior in adolescents

this paper analyzes various styles of family upbringing and their significant impact on the formation of delinquent behavior among adolescents. Delinquent behavior means actions that contradict established laws and social norms, including criminal manifestations and violations. The study is aimed at identifying the relationship between parenting styles practiced in different families and the occurrence of deviations in the behavior of adolescents, in order to better understand the factors that contribute to delinquent behavior. Family education plays a key role in the formation of the child's personality, as well as in his social development. Different parenting styles, such as authoritarian, liberal, and authoritative, can influence the formation of different attitudes and behaviors in children. For example, an authoritarian style characterized by strict control and a lack of emotional warmth can increase the risk of behavior problems in adolescents. At the same time, a warm and supportive environment, as a rule, contributes to the development of healthy psycho-emotional mechanisms and reduces the likelihood of delinquent manifestations. The work uses methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis, which include surveys and interviews of adolescents and their parents. Particular attention is paid to the study of personal histories and the context of family education, which allows for a deeper understanding of the influence of the family environment on the formation of delinquent behavior. The study also examines social and economic factors that can influence the dynamics of interaction in the family and, consequently, the formed educational styles. The results of the study are of significant practical importance for specialists in the field of pedagogy, psychology and social work, since they make it possible to develop recommendations for parents and educational institutions. An interdisciplinary approach to the study of the influence of parenting styles on the delinquent behavior of adolescents allows not only to identify the causes of deviations, but also to develop preventive measures, which in turn can contribute to improving the social climate in the community. Thus, this study helps to expand the understanding of the role of family education in the formation of adolescent behavior, which can be useful for practitioners and researchers in the relevant fields . Representatives of the scientific community will be able to use the identified patterns to develop prevention and family support programs.
