The state of crime in these countries is of particular concern. The number of violent and mercenary crimes committed by minors in China and Russia is constantly growing. In addition, the trend of rejuvenation of juvenile delinquency and group delinquency of minors is becoming widespread. Methods of committing criminal assaults by minors are also being improved. To create an effective system of countering juvenile delinquency requires the adoption of a whole range of measures that take into account the criminological, sociological aspects of their implementation, the basics of psychology and criminal law.
