The article is devoted to the analysis of the issues of the identity of a juvenile offender.
Summarizing the above, it was stated that the study of the social nature of juvenile offenders
who commit mercenary crimes shows that the negative qualities of such persons are quite
diverse and expressed in varying degrees. At the same time, it is extremely important to
distinguish the typical features of juvenile offenders, as this will contribute to a clearer
understanding of the motivation of the criminal behavior of this group of people, and,
therefore, will make more effective measures to counteract juvenile delinquency.
