CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background to the study
Deviant behaviour can be defined as not keeping to the rules or norms of the primary school, or the schools norms. According to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary six editions (2012) define deviant behaviour differently from others usually of expected and according to chambers dictionary in twentieth century (2009). Deviant behaviour means to deviate from the norms of a particular people in the primary school or community. That is turning aside or away from set shown rules of political system or principle of a social, such behaviour could be seen as crime, drunkenness, indiscipline in school, home prostitution, cultism, gambling, other. It has been observed that quite number of students in higher institution of learning have deviant behaviour they become deviant when they engage in activities which are neither under the control of the school system in the primary school. Nigeria primary school today is developing hence it required an education system that will enable the youth to understand the primary school and cultural heritage. This will help in the preservation of the primary school and the culture and will also help in preparing of citizens for a changing attitude, knowledge, skills manpower, and experience in the societies. The education of the youths is very essential in order to ensure the confidence of the citizens to the social and economic development of the country as well as raining the standard of living generally.
Nigerian education system must stimulate the spirit of patriotism and lay the solid function of national and international understanding and cooperation in our children. Through education service those manifestation can be eradicated of deviant behaviour in schools, of which a lot of bad behaviour are such smoking drunkenness, stealing, abortion, murder, gambling, prostitution etc. the eradication of which can be done by attempting to restructure the in term and organization of the school, peer group, religious institutions and all other primary organizations in the primary school. The family as an agent of socialization could have significant impact on the child. This is evident from the fact that it is the first place where the child learn about leadership and what it takes, here basis skills and behaviour pattern have to behave in the home are taught by the parents. The school as agent of socialization and training institution for our future learners and manpower needed in our primary school is also faced with an acute problem which also affect the primary school as large. This problem is that of deviant behaviour which a form of indiscipline is. The problem of deviant primary school manifest itself in the Nigeria primary school and most of our school product for example lack of total commitment and dedication of their work, lateness to work, absenteeism, neglect of duty and parent who feels less concern about their children by going late when the children are already asleep etc. all these have a way of retarding progress of work and also limit our effectiveness and efficiency. The school a guise organization should be able to deliver real services, which is geared to the betterment of the government and the primary school, such as the ability to teach morals, punctuality, regularity, honesty, dedication to work and loyalty to work. This means that the schools should be able to produce disciplined pupils whom will later become good citizens who are free from any deviant act or behaviour be it drug addiction, gambling, truancy in school, abortion, smoking, sexual immorality, failure to serve punishment, murder, prostitution, bribery and corruption etc. “Deutschman, L.B (2007). Deviance and social control. Toronto: Thompson Canada Limited.”
Deviant behaviour is an act of indiscipline or behaviour disorder which served as a major is of great source of some social vices in Nigeria primary school, which is of great concern to the parents, government and teachers. Source of these social vices are increased rate of dropout in school drug abuse among youths, gambling, stealing, pick pocket and they also constitute nuisance of the primary school.
There is an adage which says that idle mind is the devils workshop. This denotes since deviant behaviour has made student to involve in bad habit they move about not staying in school to learn and they move about the streets and alleges without sense of direction, they are likely to meet with bad friends who are corrupt and learn all form of bad act from there they are likely to be tempted to engage in deviant behaviour’ such as stealing drunkenness, committing abortion, absenteeism from school and others.
1.2 Statement of the problem
The problems of deviant behaviours can be classified into:
- Innovation is a response due to the strain generated by our culture’s emphasis on wealth and the lack of opportunities to get rich, which causes people to be “innovators” by engaging in stealing and selling drugs. Innovators accept society’s goals, but reject socially acceptable means of achieving them.
- Conformists accept society’s goals and the socially acceptable means of achieving them.
- Ritualism refers to the inability to reach a cultural goal thus embracing the rules to the point where the people in question lose sight of their larger goals in order to feel respectable.
- Retreatism rejects the society’s goals and the legitimate means to achieve them. Merton sees them as true deviants, as they commit acts of deviance to achieve things that do not always go along with society’s values.
- Rebellion is somewhat similar to retreatism, because the people in question also reject both the cultural goals and means, but they go one step further to a “counterculture” that supports other social orders that already exist (rule breaking).
