Abordări teoretice ale conceptului de resocializare a minorului delincvent

Abstract

In the specialized literature we come across many descriptions of the concept of resocialization, but all sources point out that resocialization is a component part of the continuous process of socialization. Socialization is accomplished in a multitude of forms and situations, by numerous agents, among whom the most important are people, groups and institutions. Resocialization aims at reorienting and remodeling the personality of the deviant individual, reeducating him in compliance with the norms of conduct accepted by the society. Therefore, resocialization is a process of reorientation and integration into the social life of individuals who have promoted marginal or deviant behaviors. Social and personal behavior is being learned; moreover, some research conducted on learning has also shown that social interaction is the context in which behaviors are being developed. Resocialization is an educational, reeducational and behavioral change process applied to criminally convicted offenders, aiming to readapt offenders to the system of norms and values generally accepted by society with a view to social reintegration and prevention of repeated offence. In the process of resocialization a significant role is assigned to the family environment, which by specific means, may provide the individual with new social relations, new forms of behavior, breaking with committed criminal offences and orientating towards goals which are desired and allowed by the society.
