ESSAY ON THE LEGAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS BASED ON INTERVIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE JUDICIARY AND PUBLIC PROSECUTORS.
Abstract
THE YUGOSLAVIAN CRIMINAL CODE DISTINGUISHES BETWEEN MINOR JUVENILES (FROM 14 TO 16 YEARS) WHO CAN BE COMMITTED TO A COEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IF THE PUNISHMENT FOR ADULTS FOR THE SAME OFFENSE WERE TO EXCEED FIVE YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT, AND SENIOR JUVENILES (16 TO 18) WHO CAN ALSO BE SENT TO A JUVENILE PRISON. IN EVERYDAY PRACTICE. HOWEVER, THE COURTS APPLY IN ADDITION TO THESE TWO MEASURES, OTHER CORRECTIVE EDUCATIONAL MEASURES. IN THE AUTHOR'S OPINION, THE LAW SHOULD BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO ALLOW ADMONITION, STRICT SUPERVISION BY THE WELFARE AGENCY, AND COMMITMENT TO COEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND JUVENILE PRISONS AT THE DISCRETION OF THE JUDGE.
