Abstract:
Criminality among young people covers a wide spectrum of behaviors with a complex etiology, which includes both crimes and crimes committed against the person (violence of a diverse nature, murder, rape, simple or serious bodily injuries, blows causing death etc.), as well as those committed against the person and his property (theft, robbery, robberies etc.). All of this represents a psycho-socio-educational problem, with destructive and demoralizing consequences at the level of individuals, social groups and the entire society. The current situation regarding the increase in the number of crimes among young people and especially the terrible increase in crimes against property (theft), reflects the state of "health" of contemporary society in the Republic of Moldova.
