Reorientation and dissociation of precriminal and criminal groups of juveniles

The prevention of occurrence ofcriminal groups of juveniles can be promoted by educational and other measures in this direction. The exclusive attention is demandedby pre-criminal groups of teenagers. Ignoring the fact of existence of the given groups can lead to their development into the criminalones. Minimization or liquidation of negative influence of micro-habitat, strengthening of attention of a family, educational and leisureestablishments to the organization of free time of juveniles can promote the prevention of pre-criminal groups of juveniles. The specialattention is the role of a family and city school. Work on dissociation and reorientation of groups of juveniles with deviating behaviourshould become a prerogative for educational institutions. It is an absolutely inadmissible practice of early dialogue with police juveniles,who break moral standards of behaviour. Possibilities of educational institutions in realization of direct preventions of juvenile crimesdecrease, as in such situations it is the question of the teenagers who have committed crimes. However, in interaction with other subjectsof preventive measures they should try to change the environment of juveniles, to organize their leisure. Practical workers ascertain thatnow work with criminal groups is conducted by a residual principle. An essential drawback is lack of the duty fixed at legislative levelon carrying out of work with criminal groups. In practical activities it is possible to see examples of successful reorientation of criminalgroups of juveniles, but the given groups are unstable, their participants do not have steady criminal habits. The most real preventivegoal is dissociation of pre-criminal and criminal groups, which occurs under the influence of internal and external circumstances. As arule, juveniles are withdrawn from the given groups during a conflict situation in the group or influence rendered by parents protectingthe young from group influence. But the last variant is only possible in the situation, when parents correctly perceive the currentsituation. Besides, it is often impossible to reorient criminal groups owing to the objective and subjective reasons, it is necessary tocreate leisure establishments for juveniles, which can interest them and offer alternatives to the criminal way of life. Unfortunately,opening leisure establishments for the young depends exclusively on local authorities and is not considered as a nation-wide problem. Itis necessary to make a change in the current legislation with a view of maintenance of efficiency of preventive work, making it the dutyof the Police Juvenile Department to carry out preventive work concerning criminal groups of juveniles.
