Summary/Abstract: The problem of young people entering the world of crime is in the constant prism of the public, due to the expansion of violence, especially in poorer countries and dysfunctional societies. Due to the crisis of the value system, young people increasingly satisfy their needs and interests through crime, as perpetrators of various criminal acts. On that way, they go through various initiations, i.e. proving loyalty and belonging to an informal group. Often, entering this group is the beginning of a socially unacceptable behavior that can turn into deviant. Whether it will happen depends on numerous circumstances, but above all the balance of risk and protective factors in the environment in which the child grows up.
