  • examine the motivations leading to such destruction;
  • investigate background factors which may be important in predicting destructive attitudes and behaviour.

The survey was conducted among all the third and fifth year secondary schoolboys present at schools on the days of interviews in the Greater Craigavon area of Northern Ireland [Lurgan, Brownlow and Portadown] - 1080 boys took part.
