CALABRIA - In recent years there has been increasingly uncomfortable with the increase of the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency as well as ever in the minors. In Italy in any case, the phenomenon of child characteristics percentage assume less worrisome than in other countries European
where there is a greater number of complaints and criminal proceedings against minors. On the subject of juvenile delinquency are identified six sub-categories of deviance or delinquency called, respectively, six traditional suburban deviance, deviancy of the malaise of health, deviance of the boys of the Mafia, deviance of foreign children, bullying and, finally, the deviance of the ultras and the skinheads . Focusing on the main distinguishing deviance from bullying that the deviance can be seen in the heterogeneity in the social aspect of the "bullies" who just do not belong to a specific social class but without any social context to a particular segment.
Characteristic of such deviance is also the absence of any economic purpose in the activities carried out for the most part are reflected in actions aimed at humiliating attitudes of abuse by their victims extracted especially in school or working environment which is more bullying. This deviance has also another key aspect that lies in its origins in youth and in a completely autonomously, without any conditioning by adults.
Of lesser impact, in terms of percentage, is the type of crime associated with bullying, because of its features more distinctly in oppression and humiliation of the victim who aimed at a return for which is largely consumed by children, crimes of such theft and robbery, for which show the highest percentage of the total sentences in the years between 1991 and 2001 reaching thresholds equal to about 70% of total offense. In this segment, the fact of bullying is not collected to a substantial part of the national territory in terms of incidence of the phenomenon as it is recorded in the south as well as the northern regions of Italy and other equally .
The largest number of complaints from children in the prosecution of minors which is found from the available data and see the 2001 South of the excel Italy in absolute terms only if one takes into account the crimes with which Italian citizens, they should certainly not to the phenomenon of bullying thereby highlighting the different origin of the alleged offenses that are consumed in contexts more pronounced and organized crime, to arrive at true associative phenomena. The child in fact, very often it operates in a real criminal for organizations who use minors to carry out their criminal goals. The choice of using children to carry out criminal activities is the result of a real organizational planning. The child in fact, easily replaceable, it is seen by criminal organizations as a true crime piece of low-cost and high profitability, given the lack of hesitation supported by a dose of unconsciousness that characterizes the child who comes to these organizations.
also not underestimate the legal aspect, because the child is not due if the offense is committed under the age of 14 years and also enjoying a differentiated regime in case of his eligibility, this does not result from loss of a child part of the criminal when the criminal enters the circuit from which could come very quickly. The phenomenon of crime associated to children born to bark with the clear intent economic of an easy life. As part of the southern territory the phenomenon appears to be more common in the city of Palermo, Catania, Bari and Naples, with a significant presence even if secondary to the whole phenomenon of Caltanissetta and Reggio Calabria, in the latter city with the highest incidence of complaints of criminal conspiracy with the Mafia during 1990/2001sul total reported.
Certainly a greater presence of the phenomenon in certain cities is determined by the position of the nerve center of organized crime at a local level. This phenomenon is also characterized by a high voluntary participation in the criminal organization by minors to the strong environmental influence lots of organized factions based mainly on family, besides the presence of socio-economic and highly degraded with low education. In terms of the type of crime are mostly used by the children of the crime for drug dealing in that percentage reached in 2001, latest data available, 10% of convictions in the courts for minors.
