Sažetak
The goals of this work are to obtain an insight into the reported criminal acts of juveniles and younger adult persons on the territory under the competence of the Police Station Rovinj, to recognise the specific characteristics of the state and of the movements of crime in the observed area with the purpose to achieve a better control over juvenile crime and to provide better care for the citizens in the widest sense, i.e. to achieve early detection and repressing of juvenile delinquency in the local community.
The research comprised a sample of reported children, juveniles and younger adult persons that committed criminal acts on the territory under the competence of the Police Station Rovinj from 2003 to 2007.
The results have been processed on a descriptive level and the research was performed by examination of the available records of the Police Station Rovinj by the authors.
The obtained results corroborate the results of numerous researches into juvenile delinquency that assert that the type of crime is usually theft of various types and, recently, an increase in the reported crimes of drug abuse. The number of reported crimes increased in the years, but the number of juveniles and younger adults that were reported decreased. In general, it is evident that the reported younger adults during all the years observed make up the largest share of the reported perpetrators of criminal acts. In the last years, a lesser number of juvenile perpetrators of criminal acts was reported. Also, a decrease in the number of reported juvenile perpetrators whose residence is not on the territory of the Police Station in Rovinj was observed in comparison to previous years. The observed perpetrators commit crimes alone rather than in association.
There is a necessity to define the needs of juvenile perpetrators of criminal acts and to define the risks for the appearance and development of such behaviour, its scope and intensity so that, on the basis of such information, it becomes possible to program and plan adequate interventions for the purpose of repression and prevention of the appearance and development of juvenile delinquency in its widest sense on the territory under the competence of the Police Station Rovinj i.e. the City of Rovinj.
