Abstract

The theme of juvenile delinquency and its mechanisms is relevant because of the intense criminal character

of this phenomenon, which seriously affects human interests; it endangers the fundamental values and norms

recognized and accepted within a given community, preventing its functioning properly. Juvenile delinquency

represents young people's violations and deviations from the rules of social cohabitation punishable by

criminal law and is characterized by a series of distinct features that derive both from socio-economic and

cultural conditions of the society and from the way the society perceives, sanctions and treats the offenses

committed by minors.
