Abstract
Medical care and legal system are two different scientific disciplines with different sets of knowledge and a different approach to the same problem: understanding the human being and its behavior in the interest of a just approach to its actions. Social, legal and moral norms regulate relationships and coexistence in the community. In most countries, an increase in elderly criminality is difficult to prove implying the existence of “dark figures”, probably showing a strong public emotion that legal sentence is not the proper means of treatment of the elderly and feeble persons. Thus, legal norms do not explicitly address the elderly and their older age changes opposed to underage delinquency that constitutes a separate legal status.
