The teaching staff of the Department of Jurisprudence is developing a fundamental study on the topic «Youth crime: problems, causes, prevention».

The topic of the research was approved in the research plan of the Department of Jurisprudence for 2023 «Youth crime: problems, causes, prevention», «Legal regulation of conciliation procedures in the Republic of Kazakhstan».

The problem of youth crime acquires a special meaning in the context of the crisis state of society. Social problems of society (widespread family problems, the crisis of school and vocational education, the lack of a healthy leisure system for young people, drug addiction, etc.) contribute to the deformation of sociopsychic qualities of young people. Often, young people rush from one extreme to the other, trying to establish themselves in this world as a person. But not everyone chooses the right path. Hence, youth crime appears, the growth of which looks threatening.

Against this background, the intensive criminalization of the environment of minors is of particular concern. Juvenile delinquency is becoming one of the most serious problems. Many crimes are carried out deliberately and deliberately. An increasing number of crimes are being committed with extreme cruelty. The share of violent crimes is growing: murders, grievous bodily harm, rape, robberies and robberies, torture. Society is faced with the problem of a rapid increase in extremely dangerous violent crimes committed by adolescents and even children.

The youth of today is our state of tomorrow. This is a socio-demographic group with the ability to actively reassess any values existing in society. It is scary to imagine what will happen to the state if the younger generation is not concerned about public life, but about their own well-being, obtained by any means. Therefore, the increase in criminal offenses committed by young people is one of the main problems worrying the population.
