The issue of juvenile criminal justice
Pošíková, Lenka ; Jelínek, Jiří (advisor) ; Vanduchová, Marie (referee)
of the master thesis The issue of criminal juvenile justice The thesis deals with problems of criminal justice over juveniles.

Legal regulation is based upon the principle not to punish juvenile delinquents in repressive way, but to eliminate negative influences. The reason for my research is to discover the main causes of children's criminality and to outline their possible solutions. I focus on two big areas in the study - problems of the juvenile criminal liability and the system of legal instruments as a reaction of society to delinquency. The thesis is divided into six chapters; each chapter is further divided into several more subchapters according to a logical succession of addressed problems. In the first chapter I define basic terms, which are important to understand these issues. These definitions come out of the Juvenile Justice Act. Chapter two describes historical development of the juvenile legislation from 1931 to present time. The chapter consists of four parts. The main attention is given to actual legal regulation in The Juvenile Justice Act No. 218/2003. I try to show the defects of previous...
