The evaluation of the boundaries of the ability to manage behaviour and perception of the legal meaning and the consequences of the act of students with a scenario-based study
Journal Title: Nobel Medicus - Year 2013, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: The aims of this study are to determine the differences among the limits of the ability to manage behaviour and perception of the legal meaning and the consequences of the act with a scenario-based study over the 10-18 aged students in the primary and secondary schools; and to investigate its interactions with environmental factors. Material and Method: The results of the questionnaires filled out by 969 students were evaluated in this study. The descriptive characteristics of the students who attended this research were defined. For each scenario, the rates of “expected responses” were determined for each question. Results: From 1.8% to 29.2% of the students did not have the perception of what is “true or false” or the perception of what is “crime or not crime”. From 1.9% to 66.1% of the students did not have foresight about the legal meaning and the consequences of the act. The environmental factors did not seem to affect them. Conclusion: The ability to manage behaviour and perception of the legal meaning and the consequences of the act for attributed crimes to every below-18-year-old child should be evaluated in special units and special juvenile courts.
