Juvenile delinquency is one of the inexhaustible social and historical curiosities that, conditionally speaking, survives from the earliest times to the present day. In this paper, two typical criminological levels of the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency are going to be presented - etiological and phenomenological context. Given that this is a fairly broad topic and phenomenon, this paper is going to present only the most striking aspects of the etiology and phenomenology of juvenile delinquency. The significance of the research of juvenile delinquency in modern science is all the greater bearing in mind the trends of politicization of this phenomenon with the aim of often tendentious spread of moral panic, as well as sensationalist media reporting. In that context, not only classical, but also contemporary discourse related to the problem of this research is going to be presented in order to explain the issues related to this phenomenon and at the same time demystify the obscure allegations that take place in society.

Does the apparent victory, universality and ubiquity of the idea of rights indicate that such rights have transcended all conflicts of interests and moved beyond the presumption that it is the clash of ideas that drives culture? Or has the rhetorical triumph of rights not been replicated in reality? The contributors to this book answer these questions in the context of an increasing wealth gap between the metropolitan elites and the rest, a chasm in income and chances between the rich and the poor, and walls which divide the comfortable middle classes from the 'underclass'. Why do these inequalities persist in our supposed human rights-abiding societies? In seeking to address the foundations, genealogies, meaning and impact of rights, this book captures some of the energy, breadth, power and paradoxes that make deployment of the language of human rights such an essential but changeable part of so many of our contemporary discourses
