CRIMINAL SANCTIONS FOR JUVENILE OFFENDERS IN THE COUNTRIES OF THE FORMER SFR YUGOSLAVIA

Summary/Abstract: The author discusses juvenile delinquency as a negative social phenomenon, which has been comprehensively observed and analyzed from the (narrower) normative and (wider) sociological point of view. The paper focuses on the comparative analysis of the system of criminal sanctions that may be imposed on juvenile offenders in the legal systems of states created after the dissolution of the former SFR Yugoslavia. The analysis does not include the Republic of Serbia. The primary aim of this paper is to draw attention to the fact that all states of the former SFR Yugoslavia have been facing similar problems in the the field of combating juvenile delinquency, which is evident in their systems of criminal sanctions. The similarities in their criminal sanction systems are certainly a result of the common legal tradition.
