Methodology. The paper uses the method of analysis and synthesis, descriptive, statistical analysis, induction and deduction, comparison, formal legal, and system analysis methods. Aspect and intersectoral approaches were also applied.

Results. The statistics of crimes committed by criminal groups involving minors, as well as the statistics of criminal groups (crimes under Articles 257-259 and 262-268 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan) for the period from February 2020 to February 2023 are considered. A classification of psychological conflicts within a criminal group is proposed. Suggestions are made to improve the investigation of crimes with this form of complicity, and the stages of prevention and detection of such are presented. The norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan have been studied for the features of such a form of complicity as a criminal group.
