Annotation.

The author devoted his work to a comparative legal analysis of the issue of importance for the prevention of juvenile delinquency and the resocialization of juveniles, and compulsory educational measures in the context of the former and current criminal codes.

As a result of the conducted research, quantitative and qualitative changes in compulsory educational measures were touched upon, and the positive and negative meanings of these changes were discussed. In particular, the current legislation provides for five compulsory educational measures instead of the previous four, in addition, warning as a compulsory educational measure is generally excluded, and the remaining three are either supplemented or modified in content. Two new measures were envisaged: completion of studies, continuation of studies, admission to work through the mediation of a municipality and participation in a special educational, sports, cultural or social program or event or rehabilitation program in a rehabilitation institution. The first measure was not envisaged for by previous legislation as an independent measure, but was applied in the context of restricting leisure freedom and establishing special requirements for the behavior of juveniles, and the second measure is an innovation in the legislation of the RA.

The results of the study were summarized by the author in the format of conclusions and suggestions of practical importance.
