Abstract :
Obective: To study the association between the nature of crime and level of stress and anxiety in the juvenile delinquents by examining signs and symptoms of uxism and other parafunctional habits.
Methodology : 40 healthy children of age between 14–16 years residing in a Juvenile home in Jaipur city were examined for the presence of clinical features of parafunctional habits.
Results: 31 out of the 40 subjects taken in the study exhibited uxism .Nail biting habit was found to be present more in first and second time prisoners and almost absent in three or more timers with a significant value (p=0.009). Results showed a level of significance (p=0.008) indicating more uxism in crime against person as compared to crime against property. Also, uxism was significantly correlated to the emotional state of anger (p = 0.006).
Conclusion: It was concluded that nature of crime and duration of stay in the prison was significantly associated with the development of parafunctional habits even in the juveniles involved in criminal activities.
