Current trends in juvenile delinquency in Russia

juvenile delinquency is an independent type of crime, which is a combination of crimes and the persons who committed them. This illegal phenomenon is the result of the existing situation in the country, the degree of severity of negative phenomena and processes taking place in the state, the danger of contradictions that become the causes of criminal sentiments. Despite an overall 3.4% decrease in juvenile delinquency in 2024, there has been a 22% increase in serious and especially serious crimes, as well as an increase in group crime. The purpose of the study is to identify key trends and determinants of juvenile delinquency in modern Russia and to develop scientifically sound proposals for improving the prevention system and developing targeted programs in this area. In the course of the study, it was determined that the socialization of personality has always been an element of juvenile delinquency prevention policy. Personality socialization is the process of integrating an individual into a social environment and understanding its norms, rules, and values. It occurs gradually. As a young man or woman continues or completes his studies at school or college, he or she begins to understand his or her role in society, gains more and more experience in interpersonal relationships, and becomes better versed in social norms and rules of behavior. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, since the process of socialization of a person can be not only positively directed, but also negative. The research methodology is based on an interdisciplinary approach combining criminological, sociological and legal analysis. Methods of statistical data processing, comparative legal analysis of legislation, as well as the study of sociological research materials were used.
