MODELS OF CRIMINAL POSITION OF JUVENILES

Abstract

In the article author analyzes some models important for the criminal position of juveniles.In fact, when it comes to different models related to the criminal status of juveniles, it is necessary to emphasize the crucial influence of the choice of model on legislation, i.e. the choice of a certain model of conduct determines the application of criminal sanctions and measures against juveniles.Special criminal status implies the existence of specific types of sanctions that can be applied in a specific model and thus indicate the similarities and differences of individual criminal law systems. Different approaches in prescribing criminal sanctions largely depend on the model that prevails in one criminal legislation. Therefore, we will present some models that indirectly affect the criminal law response to juveniles. Juvenile criminal law of a country to some extent reflects the material and procedural position of juveniles.
