IDENTIFICATION OF CLASSIFICATION FEATURES
OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

Analysis of theoretical approaches and social practices in preventing juvenile delinquency demonstrates the relevance of shifting from administrative and punitive measures to comprehensive social and individual prevention, both in international criminological theory and practice, as well as domestically. This transition encompasses a wide range of economic, sociocultural, medical-psychological, psycho-pedagogical, and socio-legal measures aimed at supporting juvenile offenders and at-risk adolescents, as well as programs for social rehabilitation and behavior correction. The field of research concerning juvenile delinquency is extremely important because adolescents aged 14 to 18 represent the most socially vulnerable group. Adolescents, under the negative influence of their environment, often deliberately commit offenses in an attempt to assert their social status among peers. International experience shows that the most relevant measures and programs in the prevention system include: training specialized social workers who focus on educational work to correct behavioral deviations; creating a network of specialized resocialization institutions and structures; recognizing the family as the primary institution for the socialization of children and adolescents; developing educational-preventive, protective, and preventive activities against juvenile delinquency; and enhancing the role of socio-pedagogical assistance in the correction and rehabilitation of juveniles with behavioral deviations. The model of the juvenile delinquency prevention system aims at timely identification of potential risk groups, as well as effective management and coordination of measures for their prevention and rehabilitation.
