Sažetak
Behaviour problems among girls are less researched and generally ignored, both in research and theory as well at the level of practical work. This "neglect" of the topic can lead to failure concerning specific risks and needs of young women and even more, to the lack of appropriate resources aimed at the girls’ needs, as well as theoretically based gender specific intervention models. As in many cases when it comes to areas which are not sufficiently researched and scientifically based, a number of myths exists in the field of behavioural problems in girls. Therefore the goal of this paper is to present some of the myths and reflect on them through specific data and scientific knowledge as a result of merging scientifically-theoretical, professionals' and users' perspective. Mentioned perspectives are result of the analysis of recent literature and qualitative research conducted in a correctional institution for young females in Croatia. The study included 25 girls and 10 experts, using the methods of documentation analysis and semi-structured interviews. Some of the myths that will be discussed in the paper include: behavioural problems in girls are less socially dangerous, behaviour problems among girls are mostly internalized and are increasing in modern times, the treatment of girls with behavioural problems is complex, in sense that it is more demanding to work with girls than with boys. In conclusion some guidelines for the prevention and treatment of behavioural problems in girls will be presented.
