Summary/Abstract: The tendency to humanize modern criminal law came to the fore especially during the creation of legal solutions of a material, procedural and enforceable nature towards juveniles, in order for the legislator to express a special sensibility and protective attitude towards this specific age category. The specific criminal legal position, as well as the overall treatment of juveniles, must be viewed through the prism of their active and passive role in certain social processes. In this paper, the attention is focused on the preventive role and significance of the school in relation to juvenile delinquency as a complex social phenomenon that, with reason, deserves special attention from the scientific and professional, but also from the public. In the center of interest are juveniles as a specific age category, appreciating their special personal characteristics, as well as their specific criminal legal position. Appreciating that juvenile delinquency is a complex social problem, the expediency and justification of a multidisciplinary approach to study is recognized, in order to take into account and look at all the aspects of this phenomenon and find adequate solutions, i.e. to answers crucial etiological, phenomenological and preventive questions. In this context, the school, as an extremely important preventive factor of juvenile delinquency, deserves a central place when initiating and creating preventive solutions with the intention of proper, expedient and efficient use of real preventive possibilities and capacities. It is practically impossible to observe the etiological - phenomenological dimension of juvenile delinquency, while ignoring the influence of the school on the proper development and education of juveniles.
