Summary/Abstract: In the first part of the paper author criticizes positivistic orientation which, although surpassed in Criminology, still has a foothold in the criminal procedures against juvenile offenders and the reason for that lies in historical, social and cultural circumstances. Instead of detecting defects of socio-psychological nature and asserting that criminal act is not a result of the free will, theories of social reaction, symbolic interactionism and labeling, which treat the offender as the creator of his/her own destiny, should be promoted. The author suggests the use of multifactorial approach in determining the genesis of juvenile delinquency that is equally applicable to other perpetrators. It includes both the risk assessment of future criminal behavior and recidivism, expressed by the existence of factors that are correlated and but not causally connected to criminal behavior, and assessment of protective factors that inhibit commission of crimes.
