Summary/Abstract: By the end of 2022, 654 social services aimed at children and families will be provided within the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria. Of these, 303 are aimed at providing residential care for children. According to data from the Social Assistance Agency during this period, the number of residential users was 2,992. Involvement in criminal activities among some of the children in residential care can be seen not only as a personal life challenge but also as a problem that affects the whole society. Children, regardless of whether they are raised and educated in a family or alternative environment, are the future of the nation. In this context, and given the serious number of child users of residential social services in our country, it is necessary to consider the possibilities for social innovations and good practices for the prevention of criminal and antisocial behavior among this vulnerable group.
