Zachowania seksualne młodzieży w kontekście wyzwań współczeności
Sexual behaviour of young people in the context of contemporary challenges

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present issues related to sexual offences committed by or against minors. In addition to that, non-legal factors will be analysed, such as access to and quality of sexual education at home and at school or social development of minors. Special attention is paid to the impact of information technologies (the Internet, mobile phones, tablets) on the intensity of juvenile delinquency, e.g. pornography, sexting, stalking, cyberbullying. The main question is whether it is possible to legally regulate and codify the behaviour of teenagers in terms of their sexual activity in a way which protects them sufficiently from harm. It is also of interest what factors determine the consistency of criminal law - and, in the case of minors, the law of juvenile justice - and observable reality. The paper concludes that the joint impact of culture and social norms constitutes the crux of the matter.
