摘要：未成年人犯罪是指18周岁以下的公民实施的违反刑法应受刑罚处罚的行为。未成年人犯罪是社会备受关注的重点问题，有效降低未成年人犯罪率是整个社会的希愿。武进区未成年人犯罪现状虽未达到特别严重的程度，但也需引起重视。近几年武进区未成年人犯罪有增有减，保持在一定范围内，有趋向低龄化、暴力化、团伙化等特点，并且独生子女、失学青少年犯罪较为突出。究其原因，除了未成年人自身心理等因素的影响，还是家庭、学校、网络等社会因素导致的结果。根据《中华人民共和国未成年人保护法》，结合“教育为主，惩罚为辅”的方针，对于犯罪的未成年人根据情况应从轻或减轻处罚。有效地预防未成年人犯罪是解决未成年人犯罪的首要问题，这需要全社会共同配合，从加强未成年人自身素质到净化整个社会环境，学校、家庭、社会共同预防，才能达到理想的效果。
