Summary/Abstract: The state of juvenile crime in Republika Srpska can be viewed based on the data on registered juvenile crime in the official records of the Statistical Office of Republika Srpska, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, courts, prosecutor's offices, and the Ombudsperson for Children. The structure of criminal offenses committed by minors is far simpler than the structure of criminal offenses committed by adults, where property crimes and blood crimes dominate, considering that almost four out of five criminal offenses committed by minors belong to one of these two categories. This paper briefly presents the most important legal acts related to juvenile delinquency in the Republic of Srpska. In addition to the basic legal acts related to the legal status of juvenile offenders, we also explained the criminal sanctions imposed on juvenile offenders and their legal specificities.
