Abstract
China has witnessed a rapid increase in juvenile crime in the past two decades. Chinese juvenile delinquency and crime, the legislation, and the response of the judiciary have their own characteristics. Guided by the principles of “educate, rehabilitate, and save” and “double protection” of social order and juveniles, China has passed laws and normative documents concerning juvenile crime and delinquency and created relevant legal procedures, such as conditional nonprosecution, social investigation, and sealing of criminal records. Driven by local initiatives, juvenile courts were established in Chinese courts at all levels. It is important for the juvenile criminal justice system to base its future reforms both on local experiences and on working toward a unified national system. It is also important for the Chinesehukousystem to be scrapped to narrow the gap between migrant and urbanite juveniles.
