FAQ
What is juvenile criminal law?
Juvenile criminal law is a special area of criminal law that applies to young people. This part of criminal law focuses more on education and rehabilitation than on pure punishment.
Who is subject to juvenile criminal law?
Juvenile criminal law always applies to defendants between the ages of 14 and 17. It can be applied to so-called young adults between the ages of 18 and 20 if certain criteria, such as the defendant's personality and the circumstances of the offense, are more typical of young people.
What does "of criminal responsibility" mean?
Criminal responsibility means that someone can be held legally accountable for committing a crime. In Germany, this age is 14. Children under the age of 13 are not criminally responsible and cannot be punished.
Why does juvenile criminal law exist?
Criminal acts in adolescence are often short-term misbehavior because young people are still developing and do not understand the wrongfulness and severity of their actions. Therefore, juvenile criminal law focuses primarily on rehabilitation and the prevention of further offenses.
How does juvenile criminal law differ from adult criminal law?
Juvenile criminal law usually provides for milder sanctions and offers more opportunities for educational and rehabilitative measures.
What penalties exist under juvenile criminal law?
There are educational measures, such as directives or victim-offender mediation. There are also disciplinary measures, including warnings, conditions, or juvenile detention. For more serious offenses, a prison sentence for a juvenile may also be imposed.
Do teenagers need a lawyer?
No, legal representation is not usually mandatory. However, hiring a lawyer is generally advisable, and highly recommended for strategic reasons in juvenile criminal proceedings. If the alleged offense is a serious crime, the court will appoint a public defender.
How does a juvenile criminal trial proceed?
The investigations by the authorities are conducted in a manner quite similar to those in adult criminal proceedings. A key difference in court proceedings is the participation of the juvenile probation service, which aims to provide a detailed account of the young person's personality and life circumstances. Furthermore, trials involving defendants under 18 are held behind closed doors.
Can proceedings against a juvenile be discontinued?
Yes, proceedings can also be discontinued in juvenile criminal law. In many cases, the chance of this is even greater than in adult criminal law.
What is a child custody register and how long does information remain there?
The educational register contains entries for criminal decisions and measures under juvenile criminal law. Its primary purpose is to track the development of young offenders. Entries are removed upon reaching the age of 24, unless there are serious entries in the Federal Central Register.
