national audience This text provides a general reflection on the development of juvenile delinquency in contemporary France. In the first methodological part, he first discussed the question of the statistical data which could be mobilised on the subject. He then asked the category 'young people', stated that there was an age curve of delinquency, identified the use of the concept of criminal 'career' here and discussed possible changes in that regard. In a second part, the text analyses the quantitative and qualitative data available to try to measure and interpret the role of young people (at different ages) in four sets of criminal practices: theft, attacks on persons, road crime and major public order problems. In particular, this examination makes it possible to seriously place minors (or even young people in general) in these practices and to invite a general reflection on their social reasons. ; National audience Ce texte propose une réflexion générale sur l'évolution des délinquances juvéniles dans la France contemporaine. Dans une première partie méthodologique, il discute d'abord la question des données statistiques mobilisables sur le sujet. Il interroge ensuite la catégorie "jeunes", indique qu'il existe une courbe par âge de la délinquance, situe ici l'usage de la notion de "carrière" délinquante et discute les éventuelles modifications intervenues à cet égard. Dans une seconde partie, le texte analyse les données quantitatives et qualitiatives disponibles pour tenter de mesurer et d'interpréter le rôle de la jeunesse (à différents âges) dans quatre ensembles de pratiques délinquantes : les vols, les atteintes aux personnes, la délinquance routière et les principaux troubles à l'ordre public. Cet examen permet notamment de relativiser sérieusement la place des mineurs (voire de la jeunesse en général) dans ces pratiques et d'inviter à une réflexion générale sur leurs raisons sociales.

As we can tell that youth is the future of a given society, we can state that the young people's criminality is the criminality of tomorrow. In this respect, the data resulting from the research we present here are not to make us optimist. Actually, we notice that the criminality and recidivism of young people increase both absolutely and relatively. We believe that it is high time to sharpen the attention of all organizations and organs which struggle against this criminality, towards the whole of it and to stop to calm ourselves with the small figures which criminal court statistics present us. In fact, they reflect only the gravest cases of criminal manifestations of criminality among the adolescents. At last, it appears that in the conditions of the totalitarian State in Bulgaria the effectiveness of the legal socialisation of young people was very low.
