It is aimed to analyze the expert reports given to the victims or delinquent children referred to the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic by the judicial authorities. The data and files of all forensic cases admitted to the Kahta State Hospital, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic between 2021 and 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. Of the 47 children who were admitted to the clinic, all 46 children whose reason for application could be reached were children who were referred to the hospital by the judicial authorities on the charge of committing a crime. There were no children who were victims of any crime among the children. 80.9% of the children dragged into crime were boys. No statistical difference was found in terms of gender, place of residence, education, age, and a number of siblings when the crimes of allegedly committing damage to property and harming lives were compared. None of the 43 children whose drug use information was available were not using any drug. Our study has shown that all children can be dragged into crime, regardless of education level, gender, age, or family structure.
