DISCUSSION OF THE DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERES IN WHICH CHILDREN DEVELOP IN THE FATHER-DOMINATED, WESTERN-TYPE FAMILY, THE COMMUNITY-ORIENTED KIBBUTZ, AND THE AFRICAN TRIBE MADE UP OF MANY BLOOD-RELATED MEMBERS.

Abstract

THE WESTERN-TYPE FAMILY CAN ACT AS A GENERATOR OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY THROUGH ALIENATION RESULTING FROM VARIOUS CAUSES BUT FINDING EXPRESSION IN REBELLION AGAINST AUTHORITY. SINCE THESE CAUSES ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE KIBBUTZ OR THE AFRICAN TRIBE, THE PHENONMENON OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IS UNKNOWN. --IN FRENCH
