Prevention of socially pathological phenomena at the local level
TVAROHOVÁ, Michaela
At this time are socio-pathological phenomena and their incidence among juveniles and adolescents the burning issue, due to an increase crime undertaken by this age group. In my essay focused on the issue of undersirable and socially dangerous phenomena. I chose a location and set the goal of my research. The goal was to describe the socio-pathological phenomena occurring in the locality and analysis of prevention of these phenomena (creation of preventive measures, their implementation, availability, cooperation of the institutions involved in preventive measures, etc). In case of any shortcomings in the system prevention suggest possible measures to improve cooperation between various departments involved in this issue. Theoretical part defines the basic notions - social norms, social deviance, social sanctions, social control, social pathology, and prevention of these phenomena. It describes in detail the incidence of social pathology, causes and possibilities of prevention of the problem. The research was conducted after obtaining information on the issue, based on a qualitative approach, using half-controlled interview. It was headed to press-spokespeople Police of Czech Republic, the curator for children and youth and social workers to the site. The survey results suggest that primary prevention is the cooperation components involved in the prevention of socially pathological phenomena in a very good level. Are there problems in the secondary and tertiary prevention (lack of funds, incomplete facilities, communication problems between the different components involved in the prevention, etc.) The results of this work presents the current situation in the field of pathology and may be the basis for further studies and researches in this field.
