Szerhasználatot és bűnelkövetést megelőző tevékenységek a 14-17 éves fiatalok és szakemberek nézőpontjából
Prevention practices of substance abuse and crime from the viewpoint of young people from 14 to 17 years of age and professionals

Summary/Abstract: In the article we compare how different actors (professionals involved in working with young people and 14–17 year old students) view or experience current prevention practices of youth delinquency and violent behaviour in Hungary. The repressive approach is not considered very effective. Useful free time activities and locations for such are widely missing. The educational system seems to be the best framework for prevention. Central policy making efforts could be useful to introduce elements of crime prevention (in the broadest sense) in the school curricula. There is a significant difference between the opinion of students and professionals regarding the role of teachers in prevention activities. While experts consider that teachers should play an increased role in prevention in the future, young people are often quite sceptical about these actors.
