THE CHILD CRIME PHENOMENON IN REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA: 2006-2015

Summary/Abstract: Since children represent a young age category, they should be treated in a special way both from the society and from the state institutions when it comes to combating crime, in order to reach the sole aim of their (re)socialization and (re)integration. This research paper will analyze the phenomenology of the juvenile deliquency (its structure, dynamics and volume) in the Republic of Macedonia during the time period of 2006-2015. The analysis concludes that on the top of the list of crime mostly committed by children are the property crimes. Therefore, children are more prone to commit theft, petty theft, pick-pocketing, stealing from vehicles and other forms of theft. This is followed by offenses against public order; as well as crimes against life and body committed by juveniles, such as murder, participation in beatings and other forms of violence, etc. The research also reflects the the real picture of the convicted children based on gender, ethnic belonging, the level of education, family status, and the location where the offense has taken place.
