Processing Differencies in Matters of Juvenile Perpetrators
KALIVODOVÁ, Martina
My bachelor thesis will concern criminal procedural law of juvenile offenders, focusing on the specifics of proceedings with juvenile offenders, which I shall compare to proceedings with adult offenders. In the introduction I will mention the history of criminal law with juvenile offenders, which has undergone significant changes. At first criminal law was only regulated by the penal code and by the criminal procedure, which only included provisions concerning juvenile offenders. This regulation was insufficient as it did not allow to reflect juvenile criminality. There were tries to enforce a new code of law, which would contain only juvenile justice. Quite recently, in the year 2004, because of growing juvenile criminality and the need to solve juvenile criminal cases differently, a new independent law n. 218/2003 Sb. on juvenile justice was created, with the full name of law n. 218/2003 on the liability of youth for unlawful acts and on juvenile justice and on change of some laws. This law brought many changes and represents a positive contribution in juvenile justice. In my work I will introduce the juvenile justice law and I will point out the facts resulting from it. At the beginning of my thesis I will shortly define the basic concepts dealing with substantive criminal law of juvenile offenders, which are distinct from the criminal law of adults, and the knowledge of which I consider necessary for full understanding of my work. The aim of my work is to highlight the differences in procedural criminal law, in criminal proceedings with juveniles. I will compare criminal proceedings with juveniles to those with adults, which differ in significant terms. I will focus on certain specifics, which I will describe, compare to general regulations and evaluate. To conclude, I will evaluate the current state of juvenile justice and provide my own opinion on this topic. I will describe certain drawbacks in the law and suggest their change. I will describe my own ideas about juvenile law.
