Straffällige Heranwachsende: Anwendung von Jugend- oder Erwachsenenstrafrecht? Vortrag mit Diskussion

In the organizer's words:

Delinquent adolescents: Application of juvenile or adult criminal law?
Lecture with discussion

The juvenile courts are responsible for decisions in juvenile criminal cases, i.e. against juveniles (14-17 years) and adolescents (18-20 years). The provisions of the Juvenile Courts Act applicable to this age group are primarily based on the concept of education: every decision, especially sentences involving deprivation of liberty, must be measured against this fundamental principle. Particular attention must be paid to this legislative requirement when making decisions against adolescents at the time of the offense. In short, it is a matter of determining the offender's personal level of maturity. This is not an easy challenge to overcome, even against the backdrop of perpetual populist debates on this topic. The event is intended to provide guidance.
