Young age is chosen with favorable rates in many countries. Usually, she does age 14-18 years. However, in the criminal-material, procedural and criminological literature, the term juvenile delinquency or young people's criminal behavior is often used. It is desired to emphasize the criminal activity of young people, which includes both juveniles and adults. Thus, the notion of youth criminality is used to emphasize criminal activity for all young people, regardless of age. In some cases, you also belong to the juvenile as a delinquent person, because there is a connection between the entire youth population, no matter what stage of age it is, from a biopsy and socio-cultural point of view, it has not yet been formed and therefore, a special approach and treatment is needed.Item Self-reporting of youth delinquency in the Balkans and beyond: Results of the ISRD3 International Self-Reporting Study of Delinquency in the Context of Violence, Victimization, and Substance Abuse in Comparative Aspects(AAB College, 2025-07-21) Ademi, MensutThis article publications on the first results of the third International Self-Publikation Study of Delinquency (ISRD-3), a large international collaborative study of delinquency and victimization of 14- to 18-year-old students.

This phenomenon apart from causing consequences to an individual as a victim, at the same time it causes consequences also for other parts of the family. Domestic violence has been present also in the past in the Kosovo families, but of course with lower intensity by keeping total discretion within the family whereas access of the society in this problem was very small. Violence against women is a complex problem which includes more than an act itself in the personal relations between the husband and the wife. It is a social problem of broad dimensions whose roots are found in the historic attitudes on women and the marriage relations. Socialization of men and women in our society and nomination of women in inferior position and rules that keep women economically dependent, makes women more vulnerable on violence committed by men with whom they live. This victimization of women from their husbands is strengthened from economic situation, mentality and tradition as well as not well awareness among the population on the domestic violence. A phenomenon which increased the number of various forms of violence against women is also Pandemic COVID - 19 who as the consequence of isolation of families within closed environments has had an impact to a category of irresponsible spouses to undertake various forms of violation against women. Violence against women is a serious problem and it deserves big attention of authorities (national and international). There are dozens of years during what this problem has been put in the agendas of many national and international organizations state or nongovernmental organizations.

The global recession has been reflected in the slowdown of the U.S. economy and the largest economies of Europe and Asia. The 2008 and 2014 financial crisis hit the European financial system, whereas during 2010 and early 2011 Eurozone faced the hardest time in the so-called debt crisis coupled with a drop in market confidence. Financial markets faced some problems of solvency of countries with higher debt and fiscal deficits, such as the sovereign debt crisis bubbles in Spain and Italy. The European Central Bank reacted by imposing strategic and technical measures to fuel the banks' liquidity needs, to fight a risky credit crisis and to restore investor‟s confidence within a heterogeneous Eurozone countries environment. The ECB implemented the unconventional measures, which aimed at lowering and flattening the yield curve by reducing the interest rate level and shrinking the gap between long- and short-term interest rates. The study can be applied to improve the monetary policy measures and reduce risks in the financial sector. The questions, which need to be addressed, relate to whether unconventional monetary policy works and what are the challenges in the long run.
