Juvenile Criminality in Russia: Trends and Determinants
https://doi.org/10.18384/2949-513X-2024-1-88-97
Abstract
Aim. The aim of the study is to identify trends and determinants of modern juvenile crime in the Russian Federation.
Methodology. The authors used statistical methods, as well as methods of comparison, analysis, and synthesis, which made it possible to obtain the results of the study and formulate certain conclusions.
Results. Based on the analysis of trends and determinants of juvenile crime, we conclude that due to the transfer of minors to online spaces, the latency of this type of crime has increased significantly, which requires rethinking approaches to juvenile crime prevention.
Research implications. The authors propose to change the emphasis on preventive activities and recreate the entire concept of juvenile delinquency prevention, moving away from traditional methods and abandoning, first of all, the idea of juvenile delinquency exclusively as street crime.
