Summary/Abstract: Social work assessment report has a significant impact on decisions in criminal proceedings against juvenile offenders. The assessment of the personality of a juvenile with a social diagnosis, prognosis and proposal of measures is the basis of the contents of the social anamnesis which is made at the request of the prosecutor or judge in proceedings against children and juveniles in criminal proceedings. The subject of this paper is therefore the social history, more precisely the methodology of its preparation. The aim of the qualitative analysis of the content of 100 reports made by five centers for social work in the Republic of Srpska, was to see the way of making a social work assessment report in terms of methodological procedures that workers use. The significance of this analysis can be observed through the conclusion about the significance of social anamnesis, about the use of social work methods in practice. The conclusions refer to the structure of the report on the juvenile offender, the variety of methodological procedures used by the workers, the structure of the report, and then by the profiles of the workers who prepare it.
