Introduction. The relevance of the study of the current state of juvenile delinquency is determined by the need to predict the government policy towards adolescents and young people potentially belonging to the group at risk of delinquency. The study of the factors and mechanisms determining the motivation of criminal behaviour of this category of people is possible with the help of special census of convicts and persons in custody, which was conducted in 2022. The aim is to analyze and characterize the current state of the delinquency of minors serving sentences in young offender institutions. Methodology and methods. The article applied general scientific methods of theoretical research aimed at collecting, analyzing, systematizing and summarizing data, in particular, analyzing and interpreting the results of special census of prisoners and detainees (December 2022) and scientific sources directly revealing the subject of the study. The research methodology is based on the socio-demographic and criminal law characteristics of juvenile offenders. The results of the study show that male representatives predominate among juvenile offenders. Adolescents and young men commit delinquent acts most often at the age of 16-17, which is due to the active stage of experiencing crisis of adolescence. The vast majority of people serving sentences in young offender institutions have basic general education and are raised in dysfunctional families or do not have a family at all. The dominant category is aggravated and especially aggravated crimes committed by young people intentionally and consciously. Almost a third of juvenile delinquents are serving sentences for violent crimes committed by a group of people. At the same time, the largest group of juvenile offenders has short terms of imprisonment, which reflects the leading trend of humanizing criminal punishment for minors. The results obtained make it possible to carry out the work on the prediction and prevention of illegal actions among young people, as well as to propose optimal options for psychological and pedagogical impact on criminogenic determinants that negatively affect the formation of the personality of minors.
