The top priority of a legal social democratic state is to ensure human rights and freedoms. Children and young people constitute a segment of the population that, for objective reasons, is most vulnerable to social problems, and therefore they require special remedies by civil society and the state. Moreover, it should be emphasized that all categories of children and young people, including those in conflict with the law, require special attention. Probably, there are certain social patterns that contribute to the growth of social deviance of minors. The rise in deviance among minors is, first and foremost, the result of “social outsiderism”, when young people and children find themselves outside the existing society and being pushed out of it. This is a result of the disruption of normal socialization that is now of a natural nature. Nowadays, society is losing the system of social control over the process of becoming a younger generation. Institutions of socialization, such as family, school, children and youth organizations, are losing their value and some are disappearing altogether. The process of socialization of adolescents is becoming increasingly negative in nature, and youth are more exposed to the criminal world than to the values of civil society institutions. Absence of a complete socialization environment in society, alienation of adolescents from the main spheres of positive life activity – family, educational institution, labor collective, entertaining institutions – are the factors that guide minors to commit crimes. The National police have an important role in crime prevention, in social protection of children, legal education, socialization and integration of child offenders into society, therefore the competence of the National police as well as and the competency of employees involved in working with child offenders play a vital role and is a necessary part of their professional activities in the performance of their duties. However, the existence of various scientific approaches to the concept and content of the “competence” and a lack of consensus on its definition make it necessary to develop a unified approach to the interpretation of the term competence. The article describes various approaches to the determination of the essence of competence, gives the definition of the term competence. The article also analyzes the legal acts regulating the activities of the National police, defines itscompetence in the field of socialization of child offenders.

On this basis the author has singled out problematic issues in each of the vocational guidance areas (professional information, professional counseling, professional selection and professional adaptation). A number of general problems of vocational guidance among young people has been considered. The author has emphasized the general and special shortcomings in the organization and conduction of vocational guidance in regard to professional choice in general and professions related to the service in the units of the National Police of Ukraine, in particular. The general shortcomings include both the peculiarities of the organization of vocational guidance (lack of a unified system of vocational guidance work, insufficient level of interaction between the participants in the process of vocational guidance, lack of an individual, differentiated and phased approach to each individual while implementing professional choice, etc.) and its content component (low level of awareness of children, parents and teachers regarding the existing social professional inquiry; improper attention to the motivational component of the profession selection, etc.). The special shortcomings include the following: lack of awareness among young people about the peculiarities of different specialties (an investigator, an employee of operational units, a district police officer, etc.); lack of opportunity to try themselves in different types of law enforcement activities within the framework of interaction, for example, between district police station, educational institution, school and parents; insufficient use of media opportunities to adequately cover various aspects of police activities. The author has emphasized the necessity of creating an effective strategy of vocational guidance and qualitative selection procedure, referral and enrollment of young people to higher educational institutions with specific learning conditions.

AbstractIn this article, we consider the inclusion of children and young people in participatory governance processes. Whilst limitations are often evident in such processes, we argue that even participatory opportunities that are provided by the state and regarded as spaces into which citizens are invited can be "conquered by civil society demands for inclusion" (Cornwall and Coelho, 2006: 1). To this end, we suggest a practice-based and diachronic approach to studying the interactions between participatory structures and children and young people's agency. Being attentive to the agency of children and young people, and adopting a more diachronic approach to evaluating participatory initiatives, point to the possibility, we suggest, of seeing these relationships unfold in sometimes unexpected ways.
