YEREVAN.- The number of crimes in Armenia reduced by about 25 percent
over the recent 10 years, Director of Sociometer center Aharon
Adibekyan said.

The number of juvenile crimes also reduced by 50 percent, he told
reporters on Saturday.

`About 170 juvenile crimes, out of 4,000 crimes in general, were
recorded last year. As compared with other CIS countries, the index of
youth crimes is low enough,’ Adibekyan said.

In Armenia, fortunately, there is a low level of alcohol and drug
addicts among minors. Adibekyan noted that much depends on a family.
The adults must follow how their children are spending money and teach
them to be responsible for their steps.
