THE ROLE OF ALTERNATIVE MEASURES IN COMBATING JUVENILE CRIME

Summary/Abstract: Juvenile delinquency has been a faithful companion of every society since its earliest steps. It occurs in almost all social systems and there are rare environments in which it does not represent one of the leading and burning problems. Juvenile delinquency has reached enormous proportions, both in its structure and in its social responsibility, so we often wonder whether its trend of constant growth will reach the level of juvenile delinquency. The criminal-legal reaction to this type of crime includes specific measures, because it is still a specific category of society. Diversionary or alternative measures represent a relatively new form of response to juvenile delinquency. The aim of these measures is to avoid the negative consequences of conducting criminal proceedings, on the one hand, but also to relieve the courts and the general legal system on the other. Namely, the measures generally make it possible to avoid the side effects of stigmatization and disruption of everyday activities and habits of minors. The aim of this paper is to show the role and importance of alternative measures to juvenile offenders. Namely, this will try to explain in as much detail as possible the role of alternative measures to resocialization and behavior of juvenile offenders, and generally their impact on reducing the rate of juvenile delinquency.
