Modeling and analysis of deviant behavior of minors

Abstract

The method of obtaining the integral indicator of the deviant behavior of minors, which allows to numerically evaluate and characterize its indicator, in order to perform further detailed preventive work, depending on the nature and extent of deviation is examined in the article. The research is conducted for the purpose of forming the universal approach to obtaining the numerical characteristic describing the hardly formalizable phenomenon (deviant behavior) using characteristic vector of weight coefficients of criteria for the personality evaluation. Methodology. The study is based on analysis and generalization of scientific and theoretical sources, as well as the conducted quantitative experiment. For forming of indistinct and multiple indicator of deviant behavior of minors the modified method of the analysis of hierarchies of T. Saati is used. Results. To form the target level of the juvenile deviant behavior evaluation the methods, based on cluster-hierarchical methods for obtaining generalized indicator, are preferable. The indistinct and multiple indicator is more sensitive to distinction of characteristics of the compared objects, than determined and also considers extent of influence of criterion and group on indicator of the general level of deviation that positively affects the accuracy of calculation of required indicator. Conclusions. Use of the generalized indicator of deviance of minors will allow to estimate well and visually degree and the nature of deviation in behavior that will allow to reveal timely deviations in behavior at early stages for the purpose of carrying out effective scheduled maintenance and also to strengthen control of the teenagers who are registered in divisions for minors that, undoubtedly, will raise possibilities of law-enforcement bodies on prevention of crimes among young people.
