More than 70 youngsters were spoken to by police during a crackdown on antisocial behaviour in Torry.
Parents were visited and warning letters were sent home as part of the operation, which aimed to tackle offences such as vandalism and fireraising.
The majority of the 71 people dealt with were aged between 12 and 16.
A further 53 warning letters were sent out to parents and carers.
Inspector David Paterson, of the Torry policing team, said: “The summer months traditionally see an increase in antisocial behaviour calls, ranging from general public disorder to vandalisms and fireraising, and unfortunately the majority of these incidents are attributed to young people from the local community.
“As a result of previous incidents we wanted to take firmer action with offenders and ensure parents of children involved in these instances were fully aware of the offending and its impacts on the community.”
The operation ran from June until last month.
Insp Paterson added: “We have taken a far more robust approach when dealing with youth offenders and make no apologies for that.
“We have visited dozens of parents during the operation and reinforced their responsibilities for policing their own children and this has been met with overwhelming support which is very encouraging.
“Where appropriate, intervention measures were used with Aberdeen City Council housing officers, social services and voluntary bodies including consideration of acceptable behaviour contracts and anti-social behaviour orders.”
