Families’ educational failure, pathological occurrences that take place in juvenile’s family, lack of free time organization for the juvenile are worth mentioning here. Special character of this phenomenon is based also on the fact that one can fight with it only within the local area, so in the environment, where juvenile live. The examples of such expanded local perspective on the juvenile delinquency problem are actions undertaken and initiated by Legnica city, which perceives a strong relationship often existing between families’ poverty and pathologies in families, but also between situation in family and socially unaccepted juvenile’s behaviour. By this reason, organizational entities which are subordinate to the President of Legnica as well as other state and social institutions undertake a number of tasks aiming at this pathological phenomenon limitation.
