Abstract
Parallel to the numerous discussions in connection with adult criminality (especially with respect to organised crime, terrorism, corruption and trafficking) a debate has also been in progress on juvenile delinquency. The changes seen in juvenile delinquency over the recent decades have put transitional countries under enormous pressure. The aim of this chapter is to analyse juvenile delinquency in CEE transition societies from a number of perspectives. It deals with complex social changes which have affected CEE countries and left their trace on juvenile delinquency—in its causes, consequences and trends. These questions are discussed with particular reference to the context of Bosnia and Herzegovina and compared with trends in other transitional countries included in this book. Another purpose of this chapter is to discuss developments in juvenile justice in dealing with juvenile delinquents. This chapter touches on various aspects of juvenile justice and outlines its ongoing development in transitional countries and especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
