Abstract
The article is devoted to legislative and law enforcement problems of sentencing minors as special subjects of criminal law relations. In this aspect, to a certain extent, the essential socio-psychological characteristics of the considered category of convicts are analyzed in detail, related to their position dependent on society and incomplete formation of intellectual and volitional qualities. These circumstances assume that they are taken into account while observing the principles of justice and humanism, which make it possible to ensure the proportionality of the measure of criminal law enforcement, the nature and degree of public danger of the crime, the identity of the perpetrator, as well as security from criminal infection and secondary victimization. Special consideration should be given to the characteristics of the perpetrator’s personality, as well as the significance of the sentence imposed for age-related socialization and crime prevention. It is concluded that the orientation of the law enforcement officer to impose punishment that is not associated with isolation from society should be supported by other criminal law institutions that are specially modified for this category of persons.
