Summary/Abstract: Juvenile delinquency as a social problem historically arises with class society, and especially with the emergence of industrialization. There are few societies, if they exist at all, that have not reacted in any way to the appearance of juvenile delinquency. There are certain nations within some countries that do not know the reaction to the behavior of minors and the punishment of minors. Every society is particularly interested in some selected values and protects them in particular, applying the strictest sanctions in cases of endangering them. This paper also depicts society's attitude towards juvenile offenders throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, i.e. the period when there was a progressive turn when it comes to the position of juvenile offenders in criminal legislation.
