Summary/Abstract: The paper concerns personal and environmental factors influencing the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system. The survey was based on the Polish juvenile justice system, but it concerns the European standards of the treatment of juvenile delinquency. The author also presents the problem in terms of community service which is very closely related to the juvenile justice system in Poland. The causal factor was presented in a graph, which is called the Ishikawa and Pareto graph, a graph of reasons and effects. The survey included 148 Polish juvenile court judges. The results of the research could be useful for improving the Polish juvenile justice system and probably some of the issues could be extrapolated to other country juvenile justice systems.
