Assessment of the risk of antisocial behavior and its various forms is a central part of the process of implementing both youth and social policy. The challenge of risk assessment involves several aspects, including the operationalization of methods for identifying key indicators of different types of antisocial behaviors. The aim of this study is to examine various tools used in different countries around the world for assessing socio-perceptual and behavioral risks associated with youth aggression. The research methods include a comparative analysis of tools for assessing the risk of youth deviance. Main results. Based on the analysis of various techniques for assessing the risk of deviation, it can be concluded that the main indicators used can be divided into two main categories: socio-perceptual risk indicators and behavioral risk indicators. The first category includes an assessment of indicators such as the perception of parental and family communication patterns, an evaluation of the acceptability of deviant behavior within the family, a sense of general security, the permissibility of group peer illegal activity, and attitudes toward police officers. The second category encompasses indicators such as experiences of being a victim of aggression and violence, experiences of discrimination, and weapon possession. A team led by Academician of the Russian Academy of Education A.A. Rean has developed an index of positivity in the perception of a social group (Rean and Shagalov, 2022). This index was developed using the "80 Adjectives" methodology, which evaluates the specific descriptors (positive, negative, or neutral) used to describe various social groups. Conclusion. Thus, socio-perceptual parameters for assessing the risk of antisocial behavior are widely used in various instruments in world practice.
