THE NATURE OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR PATTERNS THAT ARE PREVEVALENT AMONG PUPILS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN NIGERIA: A CASE OF CENTRAL PROVINCE
Abstract: In the past four decade, there has been increasing concern about the behaviours that children exhibit in schools (particularly secondary schools). Teachers frequently complain that they spend more time trying to control pupils than teaching them. Administrators are concerned about problems ranging from chronic truancy to assaults on teachers. Drug abuse, bullying, smoking, , promiscuity, aggressive and disruptive behaviour, absconding from classes, drunkenness, stealing, careless school work and other offences against the school rules and regulations had been reported to be rampant and on the increase. School administrators, teachers and parents had been concerned about the frequent lack of respect for authority and the apparent lack of discipline in schools.
