4.5 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Based on the research conducted, it was found that family disintegration has low effect on deviant behaviour. Nevertheless family disintegration is a dominant phenomenon in the Nigeria society especially Ilorin metropolis which was the case study. It also show that deviant behaviour like theft, gang fighting, truancy, drug abuse etc. were dominant in the case study and very few of them were as a result of family disintegration . The research analysis shows that family disintegration were attributed to certain factors such as financialconstraint, infidelity among spouse, interference from extended family or friends, lack of communication among parent, etc.
In contrast to some research work on related topic to this study that assert the fact that family disintegration influence deviant behaviours, researchers such as McLanahan, (1980), Emery (1988), Rebello (2002), agreed to the fact that deviant behaviour could be as a result of family disintegration, but in this study deviant behaviour cannot be totally attributed to family disintegration because a family can be united but lack the capacity to put the child through effective socialization which will later tell on the child. Meldrum, eta! (2009) shown that poor parental supervision and monitoring may lead to adolescents to affiliate with deviant peers, in relation to this a child could develop deviant behaviour without the parent being disintegrated, it could be as a result of the nature of work of the parent which doesn’t allow for them to spend quality time with their children. Therefore itcan be said that deviant behavioiur in form metropolis could be as a result of peer group, lack of parental supervision, improper socialization.
