Abstract: The literature regularly discusses the need to prevent juvenile delinquency, but the state of affairs demonstrates the low efficiency of the efforts undertaken. The problems of prevention development include: weak interdepartmental cooperation; lack of specialized educational institutions for juvenile offenders; insufficient training of specialists; organizational and regulatory miscalculations in the organization of social rehabilitation, etc. The article offers a critical look at the problems of crime prevention in the perspective of social security of minors, the absence of which creates prerequisites for the reproduction of crime. This approach helps to place accents in the formulation of prevention problems in a slightly different way, to note the relativity of knowledge about the risks of criminal behavior and the insufficiency of the classical explanation of crime. When developing preventive programs, the focus should be on everyday practices in which the triad "risk factors - protection factors - mechanisms of influence on the situation" operates. Each element of the triad reflects the degree of social security of children's life, and their unfavorable combination for the individual entails the development of destructive behavior. It is also necessary to include in the scientific circulation the concept of the culture of growing up. The development of measures based on it can contribute to increasing the effectiveness of preventive measures.
