PRESENTATION OF THE SITUATION OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN THE AREA OF UNA-SANA CANTON

Summary/Abstract: Juvenile delinquency is a serious problem faced by society worldwide, which requires attention and solutions at various levels due to its complexity and sensitivity. There are numerous factors that contribute to the occurrence of juvenile delinquency, and due to its specificity and frequency, socio-cultural factors are particularly distinguished, including: family, school, leisure time, mass media, war and post-war situations, economic crises, poverty, unemployment, urbanization, and migration. Juvenile delinquency can have long-lasting negative consequences for the juvenile, family, and society as a whole. Children involved in delinquent behavior are more prone to academic failure, dropping out of school, mental health problems, and further criminal behavior in adulthood. Society as a whole needs to be aware of the problem of juvenile delinquency and make efforts to find long term solutions to ensure a healthy and safe environment for all young people. This paper explores the prevalence of juvenile delinquency in the Una-Sana canton area. The aim of the study is to analyze the data available to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Una-Sana canton to determine the number of juvenile offenders of criminal and misdemeanor acts registered in the past three years in this area.
