Predmet razmatranja u ovom radu su aktuelne metode i oblici socijalne prevencije kriminala, kao i problemi koji se javljaju tokom implementacije programa socijalne prevencije. U pitanju je jedna od najvažnijih oblasti u prevenciji kriminala, koja je još poznata kao prevencija kriminala kroz socijalni razvoj, a obuhvata legalne aktivnosti državnih i nedržavnih subjekata usmerene ka sprečavanju delinkvencije dece i maloletnika kroz slabljenje i, ako je moguće, otklanjanje faktora rizika i jačanje zaštitnih faktora. Cilj rada nije samo opis aktuelnih metoda i tehnika socijalne prevencije, već pre svega kritički osvrt na njihove mogućnosti imajući u vidu probleme koji se javljaju tokom implementacije programa socijalne prevencije, kao i probleme koji se javljaju tokom njihovog osmišljavanja. Tom prilikom koristiće se iskustva domaćih i stranih institucija, odnosno rezultati evaluacija određenih preventivnih programa socijalne prevencije.
