ОСНОВНЫЕ КРИМИНОГЕННЫЕ ФАКТОРЫ, ВЛИЯЮЩИЕ НА АКТИВНОСТЬ ПРЕСТУПНОСТИ СРЕДИ НЕСОВЕРШЕННОЛЕТНИХ ГРАЖДАН

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of juvenile delinquency being significant for our society today. The paper presents state juvenile delinquency statistics over the past few years, which remain at a high level and give rise to severe consequences for society. Juvenile delinquency activity testifies to the imperfection of many social aspects of the state policy. The author examines the main criminogenic factors prompting minors to commit criminal acts. The research methodology is presented by analytical methods, methods of analysis, description and interpretation. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the main criminogenic factors of juvenile delinquency are: a weak system of crime prevention measures, a lack of an educational function in the educational system, as well as conditions and way of life in a teenager’s family. Poor organization of social activities and leisure for adolescents, a lack of an individual approach and psychological support hiding petty hooliganism from the public are likely to lead to an increase of juvenile delinquency activity in the future. Analysis of these factors is a topical issue. In many aspects, the correct identification of the reasons of unlawful behavior of minors precisely contributes to the formation of effective countermeasures.
