ABSTRACT
Introduction
Parental supervision is constituted by a series of correlated parental
behaviors involving children care, knowing their where abouts, which
activities they are performing, and the situation of their adaptive processes.
In order for parental supervision to take place, it is necessary
that communication and mutual support exist between mother and
father, as well as between parents and children so that the family
environment becomes pleasant. Supervision is one of the most studied
factors related to anti-social behavior, and it has been observed that
its absence or inconsistency allows for the occurrence of anti-social
behavior, which in the more serious cases leads to delinquency.
Objective
To know the relationship between family environment, supervision and
the seriousness of anti-social behavior in juvenile offenders confined in
a state penitentiary from Morelos.
Method
A survey was used to collect data from a population of 86 juvenile
male offenders from a state penitentiary located in Morelos.
Results
Parent-children communication and support are interrelated and form
the familiar environment. Thus, children’s communication predicts
proper supervision and monitoring, specifically in the area of knowing
children’s activities, which, at the same time, predict less serious
anti-social behavior.
Discussion and conclusion
It is important that families have an environment based on communication
and support. It is also relevant to encourage adolescents to
freely communicate with their parents so supervision and monitoring
become common elements that help adolescents to stay away from
behaviors that could lead them to crime.
