YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22, NOYAN TAPAN. Decrease of the number of crimes
committed by juveniles is noticed in Armenia during the recent
years. As the Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed by the RA Police
Public Relations and Information Department, if 741 cases of crimes
committed by juveniles were fixed in 1997, 506 cases were fixed in
2006. 1525 juveniles, including 3 girls being engaged in prostitution
and 3 addicts, were in prophylactic registration at departments of the
RA Police Service on Juveniles Cases in the last year for committing
crimes and other offences. The predominating part of crimes committed
by juveniles are cases of robbery. So, 387 from 553 cases of crime
committed in 2003 by juveniles were cases of robbery, 379 from 557
cases in 2004, 354 from 511 cases in 2005, and 361 from 506 cases
of crime committed in 2006 were cases of robbery. Cases of small
plunder when the stolen thing was not of essential value or did not
essentially damage the suffered person make the considerable part of
those robberies. 1 case of murder (1 in 2005), 22 cases of hooliganism
(12 ones in 2005), 17 robberies (24 in 2005), 44 cases of bodily injury
(47 in 2005) were committed by juveniles in 2006. It was also mentioned
that mainly socially needy and one-sided orphaned juveniles take the
way of crime.
