Despite the increaseing number of the prevention programs for juvenile delinquency, of the legal education in schools, as well as educational programs for the reintegration for juvenile delinquents into society, there has been a steady increase in the number of crimes committed by minors. The study to determines the public's perception of the effectiveness of recovery and reintegration programs in society for the young delinquents. The way in which the society perceives the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency and the real possibility of social reintegration of young people who commit criminal acts is important to determine the overall picture of the process of social reintegration for the young delinquents. The research uses both empirical and theoretical methods, qualitative and quantitative: Analysis of statistical data and case studies, as well as the Sociological Survey.
