THE MOVEMENT OF CHILD CRIME IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA IN THE PERIOD 2008-2017

Summary/Abstract: The topic of this paper is the movement of child delinquency in RNM in the period 2008-2017. It first defines the term child delinquency and its basic characteristics and emphasizes the importance of deter-mining its movements over a period of 10 years through the analysis of statistical data. Through the data received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also through statistical data from the State Statistical Office, the child delinquency, the number of reported, accused and convicted children who have committed a crime are shown. It is concluded that the most common groups of crimes in child delinquency are crimes against property, public order and against life and body. The paper with tables and comments also shows the policy of punishment for a period of 10 years as well as the percentage represen-tation of sanctions that represent deprivation of liberty (i.e. institutional measures and child imprisonment) in the total number of sanctions. The analysis concludes that the data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the data from the State Statistical Office on the number of reported crimes and the number of reported child perpetrators who have committed a crime are not identical, which indicates either a different methodology of data collection or some omissions when collecting data, and thus calls into question the accuracy of the data, the ability to conduct credible research and get a true picture of the movement of child delinquency in our country.
