Social control of offences by Minors: Perception and interpretation in Early Soviet Russia (1917-1921)

The problem of combating juvenile delinquency has always been of importance since it is related to the search for a balanced approach to solving the dilemma between ensuring public safety and ensuring the protection of children's rights. Modern research on social control improves our understanding of social order and how it has been maintained, as well as the conditions under which it could not be implemented. The Soviet government tried to solve this problem at first with the help of state educational authorities and the public. Law enforcement agencies were also involved in solving this problem in addition to social institutions and structures. © 2020 Muzeul Municipal Ioan Raica Sebes. All rights reserved.
