Symbolic interactionism was chosen as an approach to learn how participants
attribute meaning to concepts that evoke deviant behavior such as crime, crime,
guilt, and imprisonment. Thus, the crime process images of those who were dragged
into crime in childhood and their attempts to make sense of the crime were included.
In addition, the reactions of family, friends and the environment to the person driven
to crime were classified. Furthermore, young people driven into crime were tried to
be understood within the framework of a new typology.
Some of the findings obtained are as follows: In addition to physiological needs,
family love and affection, psychological and economic support, and the need for
employment support stand out among the needs of those who are driven to crime in
childhood. After the release, expectations from the family, love, affection and
solidarity, not being excluded from the society, being accepted and equal
opportunities were expressed. Expectations from the state are related to job and
economic support, meeting the need for housing, marriage / family establishment,
education, social rehabilitation, registration and the conviction process. Post-release
problems emerged depending on needs and expectations. Difficulty in finding a job,
lack of income, not having sufficient equipment in terms of professional skills,
inability to meet the need for housing, the registration record making it easier to
stigmatize the individual, family communication problems, the obligation to pay the
food fee and file expenses in prison were evaluated among the most important
problems. Examination of the post-release process will help to develop social
policies that will contribute to reducing the risks that disadvantaged children will
encounter, preventing them from re-engaging with crime and creating an ideal living
space for them.
