M.A. (Psychology) / The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether a group of compulsive stealers would differ from a group of non-compulsive juvenile delinquents in terms of certain personality traits. Using the theories of Freud and Erikson and Kohlberg' s theory of moral development, the general theory of adolescence as a development phase with increased tension and conflict is stressed. Against this background the causes of juvenile delinquency have been discussed in general, in order to better comprehend how the different ethiological factors can impede the heal thy development process. The hereditary factors, personal pathology, family background and sociological factors have all been taken into account. From the literature it would seem that the family background is of primary importance in the causation of juvenile delinquency. Hereafter a classification of the different types of stealers follows, as well as the ethiological factors of compulsive stealing. In the discussion of the ethiology, the psycho-dynamic view has been specifically stressed. The basic premise of this theory is that the compulsive stealer does so by virtue of a symbolic gratification of needs and that it particularly concerns unsatisfied affective and sexual needs...

D.Ed. (Psychology Of Education) / The writer's personal experience as educational adviser at a TED aid centre shows that theft amongst children often occurs. Of significance is the frequency of theft occuring in younger children. Statistics obtained from the Central Statistics Service show that theft amongst children in South Africa is reaching alarming proportions. Theft is one of the misdemanours of a child that is commonly not handled pedagogically correctly by the parent It may well be that people steal due to a physical need, however, the reason for theft by children is more complex and profound than mere physical need. Before therapeutic action can be taken, it is imperative that some attempt be made to get to know the child better. This study includes a literature study as well as an empirical investigati m. Within the framework of the literature study, an attempt is made to gain perspective on the problem of theft by children. Attention is given to information obtained from literature pertaining to tl e child who steals in respect of contributory causes: personality theory, learning theories and personality development theories; a short discussion of the child in the senior primary and junior secondary school phases; as well as the treatment of the child who steals. The empirical investigation includes the pedo- and psycho-diagnostic testing of a number of children that steal. By means of case studies an attempt is made to uncover those factors that cause these children to steal. For this purpose school children in the senior primary and junior secondary school phases who had been reported to TED aid centres on the East Rand for theft behaviour were included in this investigation. Information was obtained by using the form which is completed upon reporting to the centre; the results of selective tests; interviews with the child's parents or custodians; and discussion with the child himself or herself. The analysis of the case studies is largely qualitative, although it includes quantitive facets as well...

The central theme of this study is to explore the growth and causes of a relatively new form of "property crime" - the large scale theft of high technology products while the products are in transit from the point of manufacture to the point of market (retail stores, end users). For the purpose of this study, high technology products may be defined as computers, computer monitors, computer hard drives, microchips and other computer peripherals.
