Abstract
Romania has experienced major reform in the criminal justice system in recent years, which has impacted the way of dealing with juvenile offenders. This article highlights recent developments in the field of juvenile justice following the implementation of long-awaited reforms in the criminal justice system in 2014. The new criminal law provisions abolished prison sentences for juveniles and introduced a wider range of educational responses, including various community-based measures. This article will analyze trends in reported juvenile delinquency and sentencing practice, taking into account how these developed during the transitionary period following the political turn. Influential factors on the dynamics of juvenile delinquency in this period will also be discussed. Finally, the article will outline trends in juvenile and adult imprisonment, and consider reforms that have been made to the prison system to improve conditions in custodial facilities.
