ANALYSIS OF KNOWLEDGE AND INVOLVEMENT OF COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORKERS FROM IAŞI COUNTY IN PREVENTING AND CURBING JUVENILE CRIME
Keywords:
crime, children, services, measures, social workers.Abstract
The theme of crime in post-revolutionary Romania has become a ubiquitous current. The idea of a won freedom after the fall of communism in our country begins to be increasingly constrained by uncertainty and mistrust in the policies and strategies that the Romanian state adopt and implement. Political influence, incoherence and inconsistency of governing the political classes have paved the current views of developing public sector services to the incompetence, disinterest and insecurity. Promoting the idea of physical, moral, economic, socio-cultural and institutional insecurity set up a panic both at micro and macro level in terms of identifying solutions and the adoption of efficient and effective measures in limiting and preventing risks deriving from these relative contemporary truths, including casuistry crime in which the authors are children younger than 14 years.References
