Abstract [eng] Every society has to cope with adolescents‘ criminal behaviour which is considered to be a negative phenomenon. In order to restrict it scientifically-based concepts are created and institutions comprising a homogeneous system and offering a socially acceptable activities that reduce and limit adolescents‘ misbehaviour are established. Hence, punitive – educational measures, crime prevention and social integration are very important dealing with adolescents‘criminal behaviour. By means of physical education and sport in informal education the adolescents‘criminal behaviour might be reduced. Informal education is like a stepping – stone ensuring the prevention of adolescents‘criminal acts. The object of the research - physical education and sport in informal education like the basis of adolescents‘crime prevention. The aim of the research – to investigate how physical education and sport can be used as a means of adolescents‘crime prevention in informal education. The research is accomplished at institution level in sport schools located in Kaunas district (Kaunas district sports school, Kaunas judo and riding school and Kėdainiai sports school). 253 respondents were present at the research: 32 educators and 221 teenagers. They all were selected at random. Two questionnaires (one for educators and another for teenagers) were formed in order to gather empirical research data. The questionnaires were based on the works defined in the theoretical part of the paper. The data processing was done using MC Exel. The nonfiction and the analysis of the facts have shown that physical education and sport in informal education may become a form of beguilement among the teenagers. The hypothesis of the research that expedient and puposeful use of physical education and sport in informal education can reduce adolescents‘ criminal behaviour was confirmed. In Kaunas district sports schools a positive attitude towards physical education and sport in informal education among coaches and teenagers was ascertained.
