Summary/Abstract: Social maladjustment and juvenile delinquency is currently a serious worldwide problem, which is of interest not only to researchers and theoreticians, but also to society. This is due to the constantly growing scale of this phenomenon. It is worth noting that a steady increase in the number of juvenile crimes has been observed in Poland since 1990. Researchers presume that this is related to dynamic civilizational development, urbanization and technological progress, among others. It would seem that everything about juvenile delinquency has already been established; however, effective methods to counteract it still remain to be found. We are increasingly experiencing unjustified cases of violence at school, home as well as in public places, and teenage gangs can be found in most major cities. Hundreds of thousands of young people become victims of serious neglect, sexual violence and physical abuse every year.
