Summary/Abstract: Young people enter the world of juvenile delinquency and crime earlier and earlier. Many of them are surrounded by numerous risk factors that negatively affect their socialization. Criminogenic factors are all factors that in any way influence the occurrence and development of criminality. They represent a set of factors of a psychological, biological and social nature, which act as causes, conditions and reasons for criminal acts, their mutual relationship and conditioning. There are many divisions, however the most widespread is the division of criminogenic factors into exogenous and endogenous factors. Due to the extensiveness and large number of factors, in this paper we will limit ourselves only to the most important external criminogenic factors, not wanting to diminish the role and importance of other factors.
