Criminogenic influence of social networks on minors

The article examines the factors and conditions of the criminogenic influence of social networks on minors. The study revealed that their use at a young age without proper adult supervision often leads to undesirable consequences: participation in bullying, cybercrime, destructive impact on mental health, attempts at manipulation, driving to suicide. It is emphasized that the measures taken to legally regulate the content of the social networks themselves are timely, but insufficient. Possible ways to combat this problem are proposed, which will help reduce the criminogenic influence of social networks on this category of persons.
