Opportunities for Prevention of Primary School Age, a Value Test Light

Abstract

The authors analyse the values structure related to childhood and youth boy's criminality experiences. The boys involved in the test represent the 14-year-old-age group from schools in Budapest from the aspect of school type and geographical location. The results show that these young people have strong value systems outlined. Their opinions are an accurate picture of the world around them. Their views are influenced by their values. From the aspect of their relationship to criminality they can be categorized into four groups: those involved, victims, offenders, criminal groups. Young people in each group are characterized by markedly distinct value system. There is significant correlation between their observed values and their criminal experiences.
