Popis: INTRODUCTION[|]In this study, we aimed to present the characteristics of juvenile pushed to crime who were brought to a child psychiatry clinic in a two-year period, the forensic reports and the measure decisions for these children.[¤]METHODS[|]Sociodemographic, clinical and crime data of 67 children (59 boys and 8 girls) were entered into the SPSS 23.0 package program and required statistics were applied.[¤]RESULTS[|]22.4% of the children with an average age of 15.2 +- 1.3 had recurrent crime. At least one in the family of 20.9% and among friends of 43.3% were involved in crime before. The most common types of crime were theft, sexual abuse and property damage. A significant relationship was found between the recidivism and the disciplinary penalty, school drop-out, prior psychiatric diagnosis, smoking, self-injurious behavior, having peers pushed into crime, crimes as theft and property damage. In 25.4% of the judicial reports, 'the child perceives the legal meaning of the act committed and controls his/her behavior', in 28.4% 'the child perceives the legal meaning of the act committed however cannot control his/her behavior', and in 46.3% 'the child does not perceive the legal meaning of the act committed and cannot control his/her behavior' was reported. Preventive/supportive measures were recommended for approximately half of the children. There was approximately four months between the recommended and the taken measures, and these were substantially different from each other.[¤]DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION[|]Individual, familial and environmental risk factors should be addressed together to protect children from recidivism and the cooperation of institutions involved in protective services should be strengthened..[¤]
