Abstract: Dorosh Y. A., Yesimov S.S. Administrative activities of the national police for the prevention of juvenile delinquency. Master’s thesis. – Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, 2020. The strategic priorities of the state policy of Ukraine on minors are expressed in the State Program «National Action Plan for the Implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child» until 2021 [1]. In 2019, according to the Department of Information Support of the National Police of Ukraine, the courts considered 13,221 administrative cases of administrative offenses committed by minors and 393 criminal offenses. Administrative offenses committed by minors, which, having a lower degree of danger than criminal ones in a single manifestation, are the second most significant threat to the existing law and order [2]. Their danger lies not only in the nature of individual illegal acts, but in the greater prevalence, the impact on the formation of illegal attitudes of the individual. The legislation imposes on the bodies of the National Police, along with other subjects of prevention defined by the Law of Ukraine «On bodies and services for children and special institutions for children» the obligation to participate in the prevention of neglect and juvenile delinquency; to participate in the promotion of legal knowledge [3]. These circumstances allow us to consider the administrative activities of the National Police for the prevention of juvenile delinquency as one of the priorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine [4]. The object of the study is the administrative activities of the police for the prevention of juvenile delinquency, which is a set of interrelated elements that ensure the purposeful development and functioning of the system for the prevention of juvenile delinquency. The subject of the study are theoretical, organizational and legal issues of administrative activities of the police in the prevention of juvenile delinquency. The purpose of the study is to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the administrative activities of the police for the prevention of juvenile delinquency formed a management system for the prevention of juvenile delinquency and taking into account the development of basic directions, forms, methods, methods of its improvement. Achieving this goal necessitated the solution of the following tasks: to explore the concept, nature, types and main characteristics of the administrative activities of police units for the prevention of juvenile delinquency; to analyze the legal basis of the administrative activity of the police in the prevention of juvenile delinquency; describe the basic principles of crime prevention within the law «On bodies and services for children and special institutions for children»; to consider individual preventive work with juvenile offenders; to study the implementation by the police of security measures in proceedings in cases of administrative offenses of minors; develop proposals and recommendations for improving administrative and jurisdictional activities to bring minors to administrative responsibility. The provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine contain requirements for further implementation in national legislation of the standards of international law for the treatment of minors. Strengthening the international emphasis in departmental regulations will be a proper guarantee of ensuring the rights, freedoms and interests of minors in the administrative activities of the National Police for the prevention of offenses [5]. The dynamics of the development of theoretical ideas and legislative novelties allowed identifying internal and external conflicts in the current legislation in terms of the application of state coercion in the absence of offenses [6]. There is an objective need for preventive action in the presence of offenses and objectively illegal acts in the form of anti-social actions, clarification and clear definition of the criteria and scope of such actions, the persons who carry them out. In this regard, the development of recommendations for solving the problem of prevention of anti-social actions of minors is a promising area of further research. Key words: minors, prevention, territorial bodies. National police, administrative offenses. References. 1.
