Abstract:
Given the upward trend of crime in youngsters that finds the most varied forms of manifestation – some of them very serious – and the political changes at European level with an increase in trans-border mobility under all its aspects, including crime, the present study analyses the method of approach of juvenile delinquency in different European countries from the legislative perspective (jurisdiction, penal majority, criminal responsibility, system of punishments, methods of re-education) and the contribution of forensic psychiatric evaluation to the elucidation of various cases in which they are involved. We noticed the existence of extremely heterogeneous methods of approach in the European systems of law which makes extremely difficult the legislative harmonization with the purpose of finding the most adequate means of combating this phenomenon..
