Conclusions: the modern criminological situation is aggravated by the insufficient effectiveness of programs to combat the spread and consumption of drugs, which have become one of the threats to the national security of the state. The spread of juvenile crime in this area poses a particular danger, which requires intensifying measures to prevent the involvement of minors in drug trafficking.
