Keywords:
code, juvenile, crime, education, educational dictate, courtAbstract
All material (corporeal), processing and executive provisions related to criminal law in the Republic of Serbia about juveniles are, in the new Law about juvenile offenders and criminal law protection of juveniles from 2006. January 1st (LAJCCA), conjoint in one place. That is how the juvenile criminal law has been created. It is characterised as follows: 1) principally, inquest of the juvenile injurer's guilt is excluded, 2) among criminal sanctions towards juvenile injurers, the priority belongs to the educable provisions compared to the punishment that presents the exception expressed in juvenile jail implementation. By the way of exception with the juvenile jail can be punished only the older juvenile if he committed a crime for which the proposed punishment is over five years, if he is sufficiently mentally mature that he can understand importance of that crime and he control his acts and if the consequences of the committed crime are that grand, and the extent of guilt that high when the application of educative provisions wouldn’t be justified, 3) in the criminal proceeding towards juveniles, prosecution and juridical apparatus have wide authority in terms of starting, processing and terminating the proceeding. Those authorities consist of the right to withdraw prosecution, regardless of the crime committed, if it is considered that it would be useful in terms of education and reeducation of the juvenile delinquent. The principle of utility has priority over the principle of objectiveness. The court mandates consist of not only a wide scale of optional means and provisions, but of possibility to replace already delivered verdict with some other more convenient provision, if it is required by the specific situation and 4) in juridical system of the Republic of Serbia there are special jurisdictional bodies for struggle against juvenile criminality: special departments for juvenile delinquency in internal affairs agencies, a prosecuting attorney for juveniles and special juvenile council i.e. the juvenile court that supervises the whole criminal proceeding against any juvenile delinquent. In this paper, the authors have analysed the application of new educational measures against juvenile persons as criminal actors.
