Abstract
This article examines modern legal mechanisms for preventing juvenile delinquency, with particular emphasis on the legal, institutional, and preventive measures aimed at reducing offenses committed by minors. The study analyzes the role of criminal, administrative, and preventive legislation in establishing special legal safeguards for juveniles and considers the importance of early intervention in identifying and addressing factors contributing to delinquent behavior. Particular attention is paid to the interaction of law enforcement agencies, educational institutions, families, and local community structures in implementing preventive measures. The article also considers the individualization of preventive interventions, the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of minors, the prevention of repeated offenses, and the application of educational and restorative approaches. Modern challenges associated with the digital environment, violence against children, negative social influences, and the involvement of minors in criminal activities are also examined. The study concludes that an effective juvenile delinquency prevention system requires a comprehensive legal framework, coordinated institutional cooperation, early identification of risk factors, individualized preventive measures, and a child-centered approach consistent with the principles of juvenile justice.
