Abstract:

The adoption of certain legislative, social and pedagogical measurements

of prevention and diminuation of the juvenile delinquency phenomenon requires an

interdisciplinary approach as well as a close cooperation between the institutions

with legal duties in this field

Considering that the police service always represents the first point of

contact of the underaged with the juvenile judicial system, it is extremely important

that the policemen are well informed and prepared in judicial and psychological

matters in order to take action in accordance with the national and international

stipulations referring to the underaged

The policeman is obliged to intervene for the maintainance of public order,

independently from the person who is involved, but when it comes to underaged

involved in a deed stipulated by the criminal law and who doesn’t have criminal

responsibility, the policeman needs to take into account the stipulations of the laws

regarding child protection, and cooperat e with institutions which have

responsibilities in this area. Additionally, the preventive action of the police is

important, since it contributes to the diminuation of the causes which determine the

amplification of the juvenile delinquency phenomenon.

„The Resolution of the European Parliament from 21st of June 2007

regarding juvenile deliquency: women’s role, family’s role, society’s role” stresses

the fact that the juvenile deliquency phenomenon can be faught against efficiently

only by adopting a strategy integrated at national and European level, which

would include three directive principles: prevention, judicial and extra- judicial

measures and social integration of the underaged delinquents. Police’s activity has

implications in all the three segments mentioned above.
