ON JUVENILE DELINQUENCY Country: Russia Duration: 144 x 48 min

STORIES OF TEENAGERS WHO FOUND THEMSELVES FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES. Lawyer Pavel Astakhov, Children’s Rights Commissioner for the President of the Russian Federation, presents the “On Juvenile Delinquency” project. The authors of the project talk about what can lead to your teenager finding himself/herself in criminal court. The important task is to find out why a teenager has committed a crime. Sometimes a crime is committed for the sake of “fitting-in” to a group, out of despair, or simply to attract the attention of close people. It is therefore necessary not only to punish, but also to try to instruct each teen on the right path.
