Delinquent from Latin delinquens is a person committing a misdemeanor, an offender, a term used to refer to persons with socially deviant behavior (criminals, etc.). This term in sociology most often refers to various forms of negative behavior of individuals, the sphere of moral vices, deviations from principles, norms of morality and law. The main forms of deviant behavior include delinquency, including crime, drunke

ess, drug addiction, prostitution, and suicide.

Numerous forms of deviant behavior indicate a state of conflict between personal and public interests. Deviant behavior is most often an attempt to leave society, to escape from everyday life's hardships and problems, to overcome a state of insecurity and tension through certain compensatory forms. However, deviant behavior is not always negative. It may be associated with the desire of the individual for a new, advanced, an attempt to overcome the conservative, which prevents moving forward. Various types of scientific, technical and artistic creativity can be attributed to deviant behavior.
