Abstract

The article analyzes the legislation of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the field of prevention of juvenile delinquency. The key issue of the study was the development of proposals for improving the legal regulation of legal relations in this area, and the main objective was to identify contradictions between regional legislation and the Federal Law of June 24, 1999 No. 120-FZ “On the Fundamentals of the System for the Prevention of Neglect and Delinquency of Minors” and the Resolution of the Government of Russia of November 6, 2013 No. 995 “On Approval of the Model Regulations on Commissions for Minors and the Protection of Their Rights”. General (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, formal-logical method) and special methods of cognition were used: method of document analysis, comparative-legal method. As a result, typical violations committed by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in establishing the procedure for establishing and implementing the regional system of commissions for juvenile affairs and protection of their rights include: unjustified expansion of the commissions’ powers; extension of the time limits established by federal legislation for consideration of information about a case involving a minor; establishment of measures of influence applied by the commissions to children and their parents that duplicate measures of administrative responsibility; mixing of certain preventive measures; and, in some cases, the use of administrative responsibility. Regions that have committed violations of federal legislation are invited to conduct legal monitoring to establish the completeness of legal regulation in the area of prevention of juvenile delinquency and to eliminate the identified contradictions. It has been proposed to establish at the federal level the rights of persons in relation to whom preventive work is carried out and the measures of influence applied to them.
