The practical part focuses on correlation between attachment styles (secure, preoccupied, dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant) and risk behaviour using a questionnaire survey. In addition, it deals with the prevalence of above-mentioned types of risk behaviour and their relationship. Survey dealing with the prevalence of risk behaviour showed that respondents of this research were more likely to engage in risk behaviour in comparison to participants of other studies.

Risk Child in a own Family
MORAVCOVÁ, Michaela
In my work I try to give the reader the information on the topic of endangered child in his / her own family {--} the child maltreated, abused and neglected. Next I speak about other phenomena connected with domestic violence committed on children and their consequences. I try to argue against some myths that are rooted in our society. From all the range of the case studies, which I acquired in Educational Centre in Jindřichův Hradec, Diagnostic Centre in Přestavlky, Psychiatric Hospital in Červený Dvůr, Old People´s Home in Chrast and in Slatiňany and Magistrate in Chrudim, I have chosen these which are typical for the above-mentioned topic.

Sobotková, Veronika ; Blatný, Marek ; Jelínek, Martin ; Hrdlička, M.
The study gives overview of main results of Czech part of the International SAHA project (Social And Health Assessment) in the area of antisocial behavior. The Social and Health Assessment (SAHA), a school survey, was conducted with 4980 adolescents (age 12-16years old) in Prague and 12 regional capitals of the Czech Republic. In current study data from 3023 adolescents aged 12 – 14 years are presented. K-means cluster analysis was used to identify the main clusters of antisocial behavior. Subsequently, adolescents from different clusters were compared on the levels of their substance use, affiliation with peers, parent child interactions, attachment to school, and violence exposure. Four major clusters of children were identified: the first cluster (17% of the sample) comprised children with mild conduct problems, adolescents from the second cluster (2%) reported the highest levels of all types of antisocial behavior, the third cluster (56%) included non-problematic children with the lowest levels of antisocial behavior, and children in the fourth cluster (16%) were characterized by moderate aggressive behavior (fistfights and shoving) and no other expressions of antisocial behavior. The cluster 2, children with highest levels of all types of antisocial behavior, have been found as the most risk and threatened group with high levels of other risk behaviors (substance use, affiliation with delinquent peers) and negative social influences (poor family relationships, violence exposure).
