JUVENILE CRIME: SOURCE OF NON-ADAPTATION AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION

THEORETICAL GUIDANCE

Summary/Abstract: Both on national and international levels, we are witnessing a phenomenon of ascending trend of juvenile delinquency. Generally, it is accompanied by the aggravation of social danger and the increase of violence committed by the juveniles. The timeliness and relevance of this phenomenon are justified by the intense character of juvenile delinquency and its mechanisms of production and manifestation. Its negative effects cannot be denied or underestimated by society. Juvenile delinquency has a series of specific features and notes, distinct for one society or another. The features are derived from the socio-economic and cultural conditions of that society, as well as from the conception, sanctioning and treatment of crimes committed by adolescents and young people. Knowing the theory of the delinquent phenomenon can be a source of elaboration of prevention strategies with connotations on diminishing the consequences and effects among young people.
