The crimes made by the under-ages – is one of the most important problem in the society. The number of those crimes are growing very fast during the last years. So, that’s why it is so important to understand the factors of this negative activity, to start crime prevention on it’s early stage. While studying the earliest stages of prevention of under-ages crimes it is very important to analyze all the factors which can make influence for the activity like that. That’s why in this master’s work I tried to educe these tasks : 1. To describe the conception of crimes of under-ages and to educe the situation of nowadays. 2. To find and analyze the reasons, why under-ages are making crimes. 3. The importance of interdepartmental cooperation while trying to prevent the under-ages crimes. All those tasks were implemented, while analyzing science literature. Investigation showed, that the prevention of under-ages crimes must be shared by the society and all responsible officers. It is important, because only in that way good results can be reached. The first step of the prevention must be made in each family. Parents have to ensure not only physiological environment, but also to organize interesting leisure time. In the cases, when parents are disabled to do all those duties it is social workers, who are always ready to help under-ages, to feel a real member of society.

Miesto sveikatos politika labiausiai domisi europarlamentarai ir miesto politikai (66,7 ir 60,0 proc.). Mažiausiai šiuo klausimu domisi miesto seniūnijų ir departamentų, skyrių ir darželių bei mokyklų vadovai (38,3 proc.). Politikų ir vadovų nuomone, sveikatos politiką lemiantis aspektas – už žmonių sveikatos stiprinimą ir išsaugojimą yra atsakingi visi (tiek valstybės institucijos, valstybės tarnautojai ir politikai, tiek pats asmuo) (p<0,05). Visų grupių respondentai pagrindine sveiko miesto formavimo sąlyga įvardino švarią, saugią, geros kokybės aplinką (p<0,05). Politikų ir vadovų nuomone (80 proc.), sprendžiant visuomenės sveikatos problemas, tarpžinybinis bendradarbiavimas yra tik iš dalies pakankamas, o vietos lygmenyje jo įgyvendinimas dar silpnesnis. Respondentai pagrindine bendradarbiavimo forma įvardino bendrų projektų, programų rengimą, dalinantis praktika ir patirtimi (p<0,05). Dauguma (apie 90 proc.) visų grupių respondentų išsakė nuomonę, kad būtina stiprinti tarpžinybinį bendradarbiavimą sprendžiant visuomenės sveikatos problemas ir įgyvendinant sveikatos politiką. Situacija, įgyvendinant visuomenės sveikatos politiką miesto savivaldybėje, nėra gera: administracijos atskirų departamentų vadovų žinios apie sveikatos politiką, jos prioritetus bei pagrindines sveikatos politikos strategines įgyvendinimo kryptis nepakankamos, stokojama teisinės bazės tarpžinybiniam bendradarbiavimui, nėra pakankamo veiksmų koordinavimo tarp atskirų žinybų. / Europarlamentarians and city politicians are interested in city health policy most of all (66.7 and 60.0 %). Directors of town elderships departments and divisions, headmasters of schools and kindergartens are least interested in this question (38.3 %). Pursuant to politicians and directors, the aspect determining health policy is everyones (state institutions, civil servants and politicians, each persons) responsibility for improving and preserving health of people (p<0.05). The respondents of all groups indicate a clean, safe and good-quality environment as the main condition for creating a healthy city (p<0.05). In the opinion of politicians and directors (80 %) interagency cooperation is only partiallty sufficient while solving public health problems and its implementation on the local level is even weaker. Respondents indicated joint projects and programmes for sharing practice and experience as the main form of cooperation (p<0.05). The opinion of the majority ( of around 90 %) of the respondents of all the groups was that it is necessary to strengthen interagency cooperation in addressing public health problems and implementing health policy. The situation in implementing the policy of public health in the city municipality is not good: knowledge of the heads of individual departments of the administration on the health policy, its priorities and key strategic implementation directions is insufficient, there is a lack of the legal base for interagency...
