Topical problems of law enforcement practice about minor liability

The priority direction of activity of any state is the fight against crime. This activity is of particular importance when it comes to some of the most vulnerable categories of the population. Among these, minors should be singled out who, due to their youthful age and dynamic worldview, are not always able to fully assess the social danger of their own actions. Minors are also more susceptible to the influence of others, which contributes to the widespread crime among young people today. A significant decrease in the age of modern young criminals and the brutality of their acts testifies to the spread of illegal ideology, which is negatively reflected in almost all spheres of the life of society and the state. Efficient activity to combat crime among this category of the population is especially urgent. The purpose of writing a research paper is to analyze current trends in juvenile delinquent behavior, to identify existing problems of law enforcement practice and to determine priority ways of solving them. The author comes to the conclusion about the inadmissibility of violations of the rights of minors in the process of bringing to criminal responsibility and the need to exclude situations when all the features of this process associated with the mental and physical specifics of the personality of an individual under 18 years of age are not taken into account. The attention is focused on the existing trends in the development of juvenile delinquency, which have a serious impact on their behavior. The need for attention of the whole society to the problems of law enforcement practice on the responsibility of minors is noted in order to prevent illegal behavior among this category of the population, as well as to improve this activity in general.
