The purpose of the study identification of family-related factors in the criminogenic development of the personality of a juvenile intellectually disabled offender and the development of recommendations on this basis for their consideration in court proceeding. A total of 304 parents were interviewed (152 mothers aged 34 to 54; 152 fathers aged 44.4 on average), 76 minors first time accused of violent crimes: among them, 38 minors aged 13 to 16 with intellectual disabilities (F70.0, F78.0, F79.0; 56-70 IQ score on Wechsler) and 82 children who were brothers and/or sisters of delinquent minors who do not have intellectual disabilities. The majority of families (68,42%) raising delinquent minors having intellectual disabilities accused of violent crimes have low levels of their functional capacity; 31,48% have a medium level, and there are no families in this main group with high rates of family members' ability to meet each other's basic family needs. In conclusion, dysfunctional family relationships, styles, and features of interaction of all family members should be considered the primary condition of resocialization of a delinquent intellectually disabled minor.
