The question of grounds to use of coercive measures of educational influence still remains one of the unresolved issues both in the theory of criminal law and at the level of legislation. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the most important task of implementing these measures is to eliminate gaps in the socialization of the adolescent’s personality as one of the key determinants of delinquent behavior. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the real corrective effect on the psyche and behavior of a minor criminal can be provided not by all, but only by those measures of influence that are associated with training (education), work, familiarization with culture (social and cultural values), as well as active involvement of the convicted person in other socially useful activities.
