Abstract

The problem of juvenile delinquency has always existed. Typically, for juvenile offenders, the reference group is peers or friends with a history of antisocial behaviour. Typical character traits for a juvenile delinquent are such negative qualities as laziness, lack of will, irresponsibility, insensitivity, aggressiveness, excessive interest in spectacles, in their entertainment side, aimless pastime, frequent transitions from one activity to another with general inactivity and lack of hard work. Thus, we come to the conclusion that the deviant behaviour of juvenile offenders is due to the mutual influence of environmental factors and the deformation of the value-motivational sphere. Unfortunately, the problem of juvenile delinquency is still relevant in our republic. In addition, the growth in juvenile delinquency has outpaced the growth in adult crime. In this regard, it seems necessary to correct the motives and values in the personal sphere of juvenile offenders in the process of their social rehabilitation. In this situation, it becomes necessary to search for and test effective methods for the prevention and correction of asocial behaviour in adolescents. The article presents the results of our experiment to test the correctional program, to study changes in the value-motivational sphere of the personality of juvenile delinquents. The following methods were used: questioning, observation, conversation, psychological and pedagogical correction, interviews, comparative analysis, Fisher's angular transformation. In an experiment of intergenerational interaction of adolescent volunteers from among offenders and elderly people, 60 adolescents and 12 elderly people were subjects. In the process of conducting the experiment of intergenerational interaction, the main difficulty for the volunteers was gaining the trust of older people, conducting joint creative activities, which were overcome with the help of the experiment consultants. The foregoing allows us to note that timely correctional and rehabilitation work, which was exciting for them, increased independence, self-confidence and responsibility for the work started. The results obtained allow us to note that the experiment we conducted has a positive effect and can be applied as a rehabilitation and preventive method in working with juvenile offenders. Timely correctional and rehabilitation work, which was exciting for them, increased independence, self-confidence and responsibility for the business started.
