Summary/Abstract: The author examines the specific features of institutional corrective measures from the material perspective. Although implementing non-institutional reformatory measures does take precedence, the juveniles who require more permanent corrective measures, medical treatment, and training are sentenced to institutional corrective measures by the court. This is often accompanied by a complete separation from their current environment, in order to exert augmented influence on the juvenile persons. There are three measures in the positive legislation: referral to a reformatory institution, referral to a correctional facility and referral to a special institution for medical treatment and training. The paper includes research results on the application of institutional corrective measures in case law of the Republic of Serbia between 2010 and 2020.
