Deviant behavior among adolescents remains one of the most serious social and psychological problems in modern society. The rapid transformation of social relations, technological development, family instability, economic inequality, and increasing psychological pressure on young people have contributed to the growth of antisocial and destructive forms of behavior among adolescents in many countries. In this regard, the issue of psychoprophylaxis of deviant behavior has become particularly relevant in the activities of psychologists, educators, law enforcement agencies, and social institutions. The experience of the United States of America is of special scientific interest because the American system of prevention combines psychological, educational, legal, and community-based approaches aimed at reducing juvenile delinquency and supporting adolescent adaptation [1].
