摘要：Aggression is a behavior that intends to harm others either physically or in any other form. Maladaptive and dysfunctional aggression often occurs during adolescence. Juvenile means a child who has committed an offense which if done by an adult would be considered as a crime. The age of juvenile differs from country to country and state to state. Delinquent means who has been neglected by the parents and is involved in harmful and wrong activities. The aim of the current paper is to examine aggression in juveniles and non-juvenile delinquents. The objectives of the current paper are to examine I.Reactive and proactive aggression in a group of juvenile and non-juvenile delinquents. II.Total aggression in a group of juvenile and non-juvenile delinquents. Sample: One hundred and twenty juvenile and non –juvenile delinquents from different juvenile homes and senior secondary schools were selected using purposive random sampling for the purpose of the current study. The measures used were. i)Socio Demographic Data Sheet: This was prepared by the investigator for collecting information about subjects’ name, age, and education. ii)Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire: It was developed by Raine,Dodge, Loeber, Gatzke-kopp, Lynam and Reynolds in 2006. The results indicated that juvenile delinquent group differs significantly from non-delinquent group on reactive aggression dimension. Delinquent delinquents have been found to be high on reactive aggression. The two groups, however, did not differ on the dimension of proactive aggression and total aggression. The study has implications for providing anger interventions for the delinquent groups.
