The purpose of this study was to
find out, examine and investigate some of the deviant behaviour common in
Federal Government Girls College, Benin City, Edo state and how they can be
eradicated or minimized.
The information contained in this

that the commonest deviant behaviour are assault and insult of both teachers
and parents, uses of charm, dishonesty, disobedience, drug offences, gambling,
fighting, mass demonstration, sex offence, stealing, truancy, wickedness and
indiscipline. This is as a result of influences, poor school physical condition,
poor environment, bad peer groups, lack of poor school materials such as

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Deviant
behaviour is a big problem in Nigeria today some years ago Egyptians priest
carved on a stone our earth degenerated children no longer obey their parents,
the attention of different people was been drawn to the increase of deviant
behaviour among youth nowadays.
According to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary seven editions define deviant
behaviour as differently form of what most people consider to be normal and
acceptable. Deviant behaviour can also be defined as not keeping to the rules
and norms of the society, or the school norms.
It has been observed that quite
numbers of students in higher institution of learning are deviant behaviour
they become deviant when they engage in activities which are neither under the
control of the school system in the society.
Deviant behavior is to deviate from
the norms of a particular people in the society or community that in turning
aside or away from set shown rules of political system or principle of a
social, such behavior could be seen as crime, indiscipline in school, home
prostitution, cultism, drunkenness e.t.c.
Through education service those
manifestation can be eradicated of deviant behaviour in school which a lot of
bad behavior are such smoking, drunkenness, abortion, stealing, prostitution
and other. The family as an agent of socialization could have significant
impact on the child this is evident from the fact that it is the first place
where the child learn about leadership and what it takes, here basis skills and
behavior pattern have to behave in the home are taught by parents taught by the
parents.
The problem is that of deviant
behaviour which a form of indiscipline is, the problem of deviant society
manifest itself in the Nigeria society and most of our school product for
example lack of total commitment and dedication of their work, lateness to
work, neglect of duty and parent who feels less concern about their children
are already asleep e.t.c. this means that the school should be able to produce
disciplined pupils who are free from any deviant act or behavior be it during
tanking drug addiction, truancy in school, abortion, sexual immorality,
prostitution, bribery and corruption e.t.c.
In order word deviant behaviour is
an act of indiscipline or behavior disorder which served as a major is of great
source of some vices in Nigeria society. There is am adage which says that idle
mind is the devils work shop. This denote since deviant behaviour has
made students to involve in bad habit they move about not saying in school to
learn and they move about the streets and alleges without sense of direction,
such stealing committing abortion, and absenteeism from school.
