Penal Policies Pursued Toward Juveniles in Albania

Abstract

Over recent years has been noticed an increase of criminality among juveniles. Taking into consideration the great social sensitivity, which represents this part of society, we share the opinion, to treat penal policies undertaken toward them by the Albanian state. We do this given the fact that we see it as the most significant instrument wich can prevent and repress a minor to ngage in crime. The question that arises us during this paper and that we intend to give an answer is: How effective are our state penale policies toward the minors? DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n5p195
