Factors driving children to crime are individual (adolescence, depression, inadequate self-control, etc.) environmental (school, work, peer-friend influence, etc.), social (family, migration and subculture, etc.) and economic (unemployment, poverty, etc.). can be expressed as. The types of crimes committed by children are as important as the reasons for committing crimes. In the judicial statistics announced by the Ministry of Justice, it has been determined that children generally commit crimes against property.
