Ministry of Justice Initiatives for Supporting Juvenile Offenders
January 4, 2025
In 2024, 400 minors were detained due to serious delinquent behavior. The Ministry of Justice has hired guardians to support these youths and connect them with parents or social services. A special department has been created in the police for managing juvenile delinquency, with trained officers and diversion programs. The new law on children in conflict with the law aims at ongoing support and preventing delinquency.
