Sažetak
The authors have chosen the early disorder in judically sanctioned juvenile delinquents
from Croatia's rural milieus social behaviour the subject of their research because - in spite
of exceptionally comprehensive body of literature and despite the extent of exploration of
juvenile delinquency - very few researches in juvenile delinquency in rural milieus were
carried out, in particular in Croatia, and besides, the benefit of such research is preventive
one: early disorder in behaviour announce future violent behaviour. The analysis was
made of data on early behaviour disorder collected by the method of content analysis of
judical documentation, the state prosecutor's offices documentation and the documentation
of centres for social care for juveniles (N=1.271) who were judically processed and sanctioned
in the Republic of Croatia in the period from 1 January 1985 to 31 December 1998
for having committed a violent crime. A particual attention was paid to those youngs whose
residence at tempore criminalis was in prevailing rural settlements: juvenile delinquents
from rural milieus (N=240) were excluded from the pattern and the data on disorder during
their schooling and other forms of pre-delinquent behaviour were treated and analysed
separately. The results show, first, that the juveniles living in villages relatively considerably
less often commit violent crimes than their urban coevals; second, that such their
actions are relatively considerably less often preceeded by some typical behaviour disorders,
and this both those during their schooling and those that are usually named pre-delinquent
behaviour. Only the frequency of break in primary education and begging before
the are of 14 among the juvenile bullies from rural milieus are of the average level. The
results are explained by the differences in the way of children's socialization between rural —OJ
and urban milieus.
