The article describes the risk behaviour syndrome in adolescence. WHO established adolescents as individual at-risk population group, we speak about so-called new morbidity of adolescents which is currently the main cause of mortality in this development period. Seriousness of risk behaviour manifestation is within the multi-causal aethiopathogenesis also influenced by salutoprotective factors of lifestyle.

The issue of social pathology is a multilayered topic which goes through a series of disciplines. It can be perceived mainly as a sociological topic. The paper presents the contexts of other disciplines which define the issue such as social deviations, respectively from the viewpoint of psychology and pedagogy as risk behaviour. The paper points to three possible views on social pathology. The first view is social pathology as a set of phenomena which are perceived as problematic by the society (deviating from the behaviour according to the norms of the society). The second view is social pathology as a field of study preparing graduates for the prophylaxis and treatment of pathologically social phenomena. The third view is social pathology as a study subject concerning not only the students of socially oriented fields but mainly the students who are to become teachers. They often tend to be important sources of social support and possible actors in the process of searching for and elimination of pathological phenomena in the period of childhood and adolescence. Keywords social pathology The issue of social pathology forms the current discourse in social sciences not only in the Czech Republic, but also worldwide. The massive increase of phenomena that can be described as socially deviant is unusual for the society and we are looking for ways to describe socially unacceptable phenomena, explore them and find solutions and ways of preventing them. The subject matter of social pathology is the study of the issue of socially deviant behaviour. Kraus (2014, p. 15) defines social deviation as "the violation of or substantial departure from some social standards of behaviour or from a group of standards as an expression of disregard for their requirements." Social deviation is not only the violation of standards sanctioned in legal, religious or moral terms but also the violation of any social standards, e.g. aesthetic. We distinguish between positive and negative deviations. Positive deviation then represent exaggeration and compliance with such standards in extreme ways, e.g. workaholism or abstinence. (Kraus et al., 2010). Kraus (2014, pp. 25-26) divides social deviance into three groups depending on its severity and social risk: 1. Undesirable social phenomena are such phenomena that occur in every society. These phenomena are becoming dangerous for society when their incidence exceeds a certain acceptable level.

The article analyses the interdisciplinary context of social deviation prevention, particularly in school environment. The article first defines the concept of prevention, describing its possible definitions and classifications including its interdepartmental and interdisciplinary context. The authors focus on the delimitation of the issue of prevention in relation to pedagogy, as they perceive the issue of prevention as a pedagogical/socially pedagogical category. They also notice the overlap of the issue of prevention with other areas-psychology, sociology, medicine, criminology, poenology, addiction research and other branches. The article includes presentation of the results of a small study mapping the issue of prevention from the perspective of school prevention methodists.
The article emphasizes the importance of senior education being a form of prevention from social exclusion. The first part is dedicated to basic terminology and the opportunities in senior education within the Czech Republic are also being defined. Particular attention is devoted to the risks associated with the period of the Covid-19 pandemic when the risk of social exclusion increased due to the impossibility of interaction with others, so the seniors often became a neglected group in social isolation.
