Sažetak
Considering the fact that alcoholism represents social phenomenon with a tendency to increase, and particularly considering the fact that in the contemporary industrial world — characterized by an intensive migration from a village to a town — consuming of spirits between the youth, especially children from families that have moved to towns, has been more and more significant recently, the author has first and foremost paid attention to the definition of concept. Analyzing various definitions he has emphasized the necessity for the sociological approach to the alcoholism of the under age migrants.
Analyzing alcoholism between the youth, the author wants to emphasize that the phenomenon is new only for its wide spreading, but at the same time it represents one of the most important social problems of contemporaneous, because alcoholics form the main category of those degraded, nonhuman and desorded persons. Although, according to what has been said, this phenomenon has its social, economic, psychological, medical-healthful importance and sides, the author shows that with regard to its causes as well as with regard to its consequences, alcoholism represents a social phenomenon per excellence.
In order to explain a completely as possible the phenomenon of alcoholism between the under age from migrant families, the author has also' taken into consideration the etiology of alcoholism in general.
In a complex etiology of alcoholism between the under age, the author distinguishes objective and subjective causes. In order to express that, in a somewhat simpler way, he says that reasons for the appearance of the phenomenon should be sought in social conditions and the structure of the under age personality from migrant families. The author has paid special attention to the family conditions, emphasizing importance of the deficient family, and the role of a father, concluding that in the etiology of alcoholism between the under age migrants, the situation in a family plays the most important and main role. Within such a frame, the author considers the influence of alcoholism upon the personality of the under age migrants, judging that it has manifested itself in demoralization and degeneration of personality, as well as in an expressing of delinquent behavior. Basis of that analysis is to be found in the research carried out by the author on a group of 300 under age migrants-alcoholics.
After considering various forms of under age alcoholism, the author has deepened the problem, connecting alcoholism and delinquent behavior of the under age migrants in urban surroundings. In that analysis he has shown that alcoholism is just another link in the complex etiology of delinquent behavior between the under age. With regard to further tendency of increase, he has occupied himself with alcoholism of girls in migrant families and has shown that it has been the most important factor in the etiology of the under age prostitution. At the end, the author concludes about the necessity of the systematic and uniquely guided struggle against alcoholism based on the results of scientific researches, and he mentions the principal factors that should lead to the struggle against the under age alcoholism in general, in Yugoslavia.
