THE ROLE OF CRIME RESEARCH IN FIGHTING JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

Summary/Abstract: FIGHTING JUVENILE DELINQUENCY SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM CRIME RESEARCH, WHICH RECOMMENDS TO THE LAWMAKER NOT TO FORESEE OPPRESSIVE, HARD SANCTIONS, BUT MEASURES WHICH SHOULD BE USEFUL TO THE MINOR, IN THE SENSE THAT THEY SHOULD MAKE HIM/HER UNDERSTAND THE MISTAKES HE/SHE HAS DONE, BECOMING AWARE OF THE NECESSITY OF ADOPTING, IN FUTURE, A PROPER BEHAVIOR, IN THE SPIRIT OF RESPECTING THE LAW AND THE SOCIAL VALUES. THE SANCTIONS AND/OR THE EDUCATIONAL MEASURES FORESEEN BY LAW AND APPLIED TO THE DELINQUENT MINORS SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE CHARACTERISTICS SPECIFIC TO THE AGE, IN ORDER FOR THE BEST MEASURES TO BE SET, THUS THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THE GOAL OF RE-EDUCATION BEING INSURED. IN ORDER TO FIGHT SOMETHING BAD, IT IS NECESSARY THAT ITS BASIS SHOULD BE REMOVED, NAMELY THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE CAUSES OF THAT EVIL, SO THAT THE LAWMAKER AND THE JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES SHOULD BENEFIT FROM THE RESULTS OF SOME IN-DEPTH CRIME RESEARCH, WITH A VIEW TO ESTABLISHING THE MOST APPROPRIATE MEASURES OF RE-EDUCATION.
