Anti-Social Behavior among Youth”
Rostov-na-Donu, September 28, 2007

On September 28, 2007, the Climate of Trust Council conducted a conference to discuss strategies for preventing youth crimes and juvenile delinquency. The conference was held at the North Caucasus Academy of Civil Service in Rostov-na-Donu.

Participants of the conference included presidents of Rostov’s universities, government officials, police officers, scholars, directors of Tolerance Centers of Climate of Trust, and leaders of youth organizations and ethnic diasporas from Rostov, Ryazan, St. Petersburg, and Tatarstan. 

Speakers addressed a variety of topics such as types of youth crimes, methods of preventing youth crimes, mechanisms for counteracting anti-social behavior of juveniles, and the impact of youth extremist organizations on social activity of young people.

Presenters stressed the need to prevent youth participation in extremist and terrorist groups. One of the proposed measures was to more proactively involve young people in educational and business activities. Representatives of the Ingush diaspora proposed to encourage young people of the Northern Caucasus to participate in seminars and workshops on conflict resolution.

In conclusion, participants of the conference decided to create a Tolerance Center in Rostov-na-Donu. Conference materials will be published by the North Caucasus Academy of Civil Service.
