In today's complex and precarious times, living in harmony with the
rapidly changing era requires that we do not limit ourselves to the achievements
we have gained, but rather avoid complacency and strive for new heights. It is
essential to continuously seek progress and advance along the path of
development and renewal. In this context, it can be said that alongside the
achievements, there are still significant issues awaiting resolution regarding
enhancing the effectiveness of crime prevention among youth. There is a need to
address the problems and shortcomings arising in the organizational and legal
regulation of crime prevention among youth, as well as to develop
recommendations aimed at enriching its scientific and theoretical foundations.
The global community is increasingly concerned about implementing effective
policies to combat crime. In this regard, protecting individuals, their rights and
freedoms, societal and state interests, property, the natural environment, peace,
and humanity from criminal aggression, as well as establishing a modern and
effective system for crime prevention, are becoming increasingly global and
urgent issues.
Indeed, criminological studies indicate that by improving preventive
measures, it is possible to prevent seven out of every ten crimes.
It is important to emphasize that the real goal is not just to put an end to
offenses among youth, but rather to prevent them at an early stage and reduce
the incidence of such offenses to the lowest possible level.
This is because offenses are a socially dangerous, socio-legal phenomenon
that exists at every stage of societal development. Therefore, it cannot be said
that offenses will completely disappear at a certain stage of human
development.
In this regard, the view of Russian scholar Yu.M. Antonyan that "crime
cannot be completely eradicated; it can only be reduced along with society" and
the opinions of Uzbek scholars X.T. Odilqoriev and I.T. Tulteev that "the goal of
completely eliminating crime in the fight against it is unrealistic; the state of
crime and the ten conditions for combating it show that sometimes it is effective,

and sometimes it is ineffective. It seems that completely eradicating crime is an
extremely complex and entirely unattainable dream" are fully justified.
The issues surrounding the legal provision of preventive activities against
offenses among youth have become one of the most important matters today.
Indeed, effective management of this area requires regular analysis and
monitoring of the legal frameworks governing it, as well as observing how well
they align with and are implemented in social life.
Analysis of practical results shows that currently, the compliance with the
requirements of legislative documents regulating preventive activities against
offenses among youth is not at a satisfactory level. For instance, according to
paragraph 7 of the regulation approved by the order No. 193 of the Ministry of
Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated September 6, 2017, the
report provided by the preventive inspector in the neighborhood citizen
assemblies is carried out in five main areas, three of which—60%—are
comprised of the results of preventive work conducted among minors and
youth.
In general, we believe that the establishment of a system for regular
reporting by preventive inspectors in front of the population and the
development of clear criteria for evaluating the work done contribute positively
to: Firstly, the effectiveness of the activities of internal affairs bodies,
particularly in the prevention of offenses among youth;
Secondly, ensuring openness, transparency, and legality in their operations.
Considering that the internal affairs bodies have a large number of personnel
within the law enforcement system and possess specialized services and
institutions that conduct social prevention with minors, they play a significant
role in implementing the prevention of offenses among youth.
In recent years, President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev has
stated that "the internal affairs, prosecutor's office, Youth Union, Women's
Committee, neighborhood committees, and other state and non-governmental
organizations must take timely measures to prevent unemployment, drug
addiction, neglect, family disputes, and similar issues that contribute to crime
and offenses. Moreover, there should be a focus on avoiding generalizations,
striving towards a common goal, collaborating effectively, and addressing each
problem based on a clear plan."
These ideological views have ensured the systematic development and
implementation of inter-agency programs for the prevention of offenses among

youth, taking into account specificity in targeting, sectoral specialization,
regional characteristics, and other unique aspects.
As a result, the effectiveness of addressing social problems among youth
has increased. In particular, efforts have been intensified to ensure their
employment, engage them in socially beneficial activities, and organize their
leisure time meaningfully. In this regard, the requirements for individuals
appointed to the position of preventive inspector have been strengthened.
Necessary measures have been taken to create suitable working conditions for
them.
In conclusion, ensuring the prevention of offenses among youth in the
current circumstances is a key direction of legal policy. It is aimed at eradicating
the roots of criminality and serves as a primary method of providing a
preventive impact on criminogenic factors at the early stages of their
development. The ultimate result of prevention allows society, especially with
minimal costs, to address the tasks of combating criminality
