Number of juvenile delinquents increased
Juvenile offences have increased in Armenia by 4,9% during the past nine months, RA Police criminal office chief, colonel Hovhannes Tamamian. Most crimes were committed by minors under 16-17.
Totally, 23 offences were committed by girls. A further breakdown revealed that 4 crimes were committed while under the influence of alcohol and one was drug induced.
Speaking about the reasons for the crimes, the colonel said that adults were behind the recruitment of juveniles into the world of crime
The most distressing is that crimes committed by youth are nothing compared to those committed by adults against youth.
Tamamian's news conference on juvenile delinquency was not accidental since November 20 marks the 20th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Armenia adopted in 1993.
