The incidence of juvenile offenders in the Khabarovsk Territory and the Jewish Autonomous Region

Abstract

Recently, resonant cases have often arisen with the participation of children who commit unlawful acts. Participants in these crimes are most often children - victims of social maladjustment and child neglect, who are subject to an increased risk of the prevalence and severity of diseases (compared to the child population as a whole) due to the unfavorable socio-economic background of their life and upbringing, due to their aggravated socio-medical history of their parents. As a rule, these children elude the attention of the district out-patient clinic service: they fundamentally refuse to visit a pediatrician at an early stage of the development of the disease and undergo preventive medical examinations, which subsequently leads to a greater burden of somatic morbidity
