Crime prevention among students of secondary vocational schools is a key challenge for the education system in Slovakia. This paper focuses on analysing the effectiveness of various prevention programmes that have been implemented to reduce juvenile delinquency in these schools. The comparative study focuses on the effectiveness of different approaches using both criminological and pedagogical methods. The effort is to identify which programmes and strategies are the most successful and can serve as models for other schools and institutions. Research is based on data obtained from police statistics, questionnaire surveys, and expert analyses, which allows deep insight into the issue and contributes to a better understanding and solution of juvenile delinquency in the secondary school environment.
