Abstract
The central place in delinquency prevention is occupied by the ideas about set of factors leading to delinquent behaviour and adressing these factors within the activities of corresponding state institutions. The article provides analytic review of theories related to crime determinants which were developed by the Western researchers. The review research covers main interpretations of delinquent behaviour from classic notions of social disorganization and anomie to crime opportunity theories and NeoMarxist concepts of crime. Moreover, the article emphasizes the pecularities of crime prevention stemming from the theories presented in the review.
