Abstract:
The determinant causes of the juvenile delinquecy can not be entered in a
magic formula, but the main element, which influences and determines the outcome
of these conducts it’s represented, in this moment, by the extinguish of the social,
economical, professional and cultural inequity. The subtile or evident forms of the
social expelation seezes for a lot of aspects: restricting the acces or even the
abscence of some means or opportunities, the inequity of chances in the
educational and professional domain, the discrimination that some social groups
are obliged to take, especiialy because of the economic criteeria. All of these
elements are in an tight relationship and determines the minors to conducts of
social risk: runnig from home, educational abandon, the option for suburbs groups
as life adapting or succeeding „solutions”. From this point of view there isn’t an

economically and cultural poor situation are the hidden substract of the illegal
conducts.

is not properly said „occures”, because a social problem does not occures together
with taking into consideration by the authorities. Ussually, the authorities are being
called or they call themselves, not when there are enough prevention means, but
when fight against means are being needed. It is symptomathic Romania’s case in
the transition period, since in the child protection domain, such in other domains
the laws are confuse, living space for interpreting and overpassing the judicial laws,
encourages the ignorancy, being pasive and the derogation of responsability.
