Summary/Abstract: The transition from childhood to adulthood is considered one of the most dynamic and vulnerable stages in the person’s individual development. During this period, young people are influenced by multi-layered social, biological and psychological factors, which sometimes are a prerequisite for the manifestation of various forms of risky behavior. The aim of this report is to present brief overview of the basic trends in risky behavior of adolescents and different approaches to its prevention. Studying the contemporary specifics of the problem behavior among young people will help both to better understand them and to implement effective prevention strategies in order to prevent participation in risky activities and later criminal offending.
