To the Question About Needless Crimes of Minors

Minors represent a special segment of the population. The spread of crime among minors creates significant risks for the further development of society and the state. Considering that the Russian criminal legislation establishes a minor as a circumstance mitigating punishment, in practice, illegal thinking often takes root in the minds of adolescents, who clearly understand the limitations of negative consequences for themselves. Also negatively on the scale of the spread of unlawful behavior among persons under the age of 18, the erroneous perception of a careless form of guilt affects. An analysis of the reasons for committing such crimes allows us to note their significant diversity, in connection with which the study of careless juvenile delinquency in existing conditions acquires special relevance. The purpose of writing a research paper is to analyze topical issues related to the spread of reckless crimes among minors. The author comes to the conclusion that currently, at the legislative and law enforcement level, insufficient attention is paid to the problems of careless juvenile delinquency. Attention is focused on the features of the mental and physical development of modern adolescents, most of whom allow illegal behavior in the context of imitation of adults with whom they come in contact in everyday life. The paramount importance of excluding the motives of committing reckless crimes by minors, as well as factors that contribute to the development of illegal thinking among young people, is noted. Preventive and preventive activities with the involvement of the public, including work with dysfunctional families, the development of youth public organizations, etc., stand out as the most promising direction in the fight against the spread of reckless crime among minors.
