The most sensitive question is: “Will they be able to successfully integrate into it or not?” Unfortunately, in most cases the answer is negative; sooner or later they end up back in jail. The issue becomes more dramatic when it concerns juvenile offenders who were sentenced between the ages of 13-17. Most adult criminals begin their criminal careers as juveniles, and although the amount of juvenile crimes has annually decreased in Azerbaijan, half of those who are already in prison have committed multiple crimes. There are many reasons for juvenile recidivism. The most common set of problems which constricts the ability of released juveniles to start a new and successful life includes: uselessness in the society, limited job perspectives, homelessness, deteriorating health, and psychological problems. This paper is based upon several primary assumptions that reflect current research in the field of juvenile recidivism. The main purposes are to investigate the reasons behind and suggest possible solutions for juvenile recidivism in Azerbaijan. Data was collected from: A founding text on criminology which gives a general picture of juvenile psychology and actions; various researches which reflect foreign experience on this issue; reports from local NGOs and the office of UNICEF in Azerbaijan which provide precise descriptive and statistical information on the juvenile justice system; data from the State Statistical Committee of the Azerbaijan Republic; interviews with the people who work on the issue of children’s rights in Azerbaijan. The results of this research propose recommendations to reduce the rate of juvenile recidivism in Azerbaijan. Details: Baku, Azerbaijan; Khazar University, 2011. 21p.
