PRINCIPLE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION AND JUVENILE PERPETRATORS OF CRIMINAL OFFENSES

Summary/Abstract: Juvenile criminal law (substantive, procedural and enforceable) has seen many changes in the last several decades. They are of such scope, quantity and quality that it can be sad that they completely break with the classic criminal law instruments of reaction to juvenile delinquency. Seen in general, among such a large number of novelties brought by the changed view of the criminal law instruments of reaction to juvenile delinquency, regardless of which national legislation is in question - two of them stand out in particular. The first is a special normative framework for the regulation of juvenile delinquency contained in the fact that it is now, unlike the earlier classic ways, regulated by a special law. The second one is a completely different approach to criminal law measures of reaction to juvenile delinquency. Instead of institutional measures, as former key criminal law measures of reaction to juvenile delinquency (as a rule, criminal sanctions), now dominates the completely correct attitude that extra-institutional measures (warning measures, educational recommendations and extra-institutional educational measures) should be the basic instruments of the reaction of competent state authorities (the police , the public prosecutor’s office and the court) against juvenile perpetrators of criminal offences.
