Theoretical-Practical Approaches Regarding Educational Measures Applicable to Minors in Conflict with the Law

Abstract

The topicality of the addressed topic resides in the interest shown in knowing the importance of educational measures applicable to minors in conflict with the law. Criminal minors are one of the major and permanent concerns of criminal policy in all modern states. Criminal manifestations in the age range that characterizes minors raise very special and specific problems of prevention and combat, due, on the one hand, to the multitude and diversity of factors that can negatively mark the ability of minors to adapt to the demands of socially accepted norms of conduct , and on the other hand, the extremely fragile and influenceable character of their personality. Unlike some foreign legislation (such as the French one), where educational measures can be taken even without establishing criminal responsibility, in the Moldovan criminal system they can only be consequences of concrete criminal responsibility and can only be taken against the minor who committed a crime. The moments exposed in the content of this article are useful, in particular, in terms of the practical applicability of the educational measures applicable to minors in conflict with the law.
