A Study on Deviant Behaviour Among Youth in Coimbatore City

Author(s) Mr. Mithun Madhavan, Mr. S M Sri Kishor
Country India
Abstract Deviant behaviour among youth has emerged as a growing social concern in rapidly urbanizing cities like Coimbatore. The transition from adolescence to adulthood is often marked by emotional instability, peer influence, and increased exposure to risk-laden environments, which may contribute to engagement in deviant acts. This study aims to examine the nature and extent of deviant behaviour among youth in Coimbatore city and to identify the sociodemographic, familial, and peer-related factors influencing such behaviour. Using a descriptive and analytical research design, data were collected from youth through a structured questionnaire, focusing on various forms of deviance including substance use, aggression, truancy, and rule-violating activities. The study also explores the relationship between deviant behaviour and variables such as age, gender, educational status, family supervision, peer delinquency, and school connectedness. The findings reveal noticeable variations in patterns of deviant behaviour across different socio-demographic groups and highlight the significant role played by peer influence and family environment. Protective factors such as parental monitoring and positive institutional attachment were found to reduce the likelihood of deviant involvement. The study emphasizes the need for targeted intervention strategies involving families, educational institutions, and community agencies to prevent and control youth deviance. By providing empirical insights specific to Coimbatore city, this research contributes to a better understanding of youth deviance and offers practical implications for policy formulation and social work interventions.
