This publication, consisting of four volumes, is probably the most comprehensive database on juvenile justice systems in Europe. The first edition of the book (2010) was a great success.Therefore we decided to edit a second revised edition. We avoided a general update of statistical data and we considered new developments such as the Scottish law reform (2010) raising of the age of criminal prosecution from 8 to 12 and the reform in Greece (2010) raising the age of criminal responsibility from 13 to 15. We also thought that new discussions in England and Wales about ¿a fresh start¿ in order to overcome the ¿neo-correctionalist¿ approach as defined and criticized by Dignan and Cavadino (2006) are at least worth mentioning. Therefore we added an editorial note to the chapter on England and Wales. Further country reports with minor amendments are Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine.The influence of international human rights standards are clearly visible in recent jurisprudence and reform laws in Germany and Greece. The recent developments in many European countries support the general conclusions of the comparative research results gathered in the four present volumes.mehr

Inhalt/Kritik

Vorwort
This publication, consisting of four volumes, is probably the most comprehensive database on juvenile justice systems in Europe. The first edition of the book edited in spring 2010 was a great success.Therefore we decided to edit a second revised edition. With the exception of Latvia we avoided a general update of statistical data as this would have meant major edi-torial work.However, we considered a few new developments such as the Scottish law re-form of 2010 raising of the age of criminal prosecution from 8 to 12 and the re-form in Greece in the same year raising the age of criminal responsibility from 13 to 15 and improving some procedural safeguards concerning judicial appeals and the representation by defence counsel. We also thought that new discussions in England and Wales about a fresh start in order to overcome the neo-correctionalist approach as defined and criticized by Dignan and Cavadino (2006) are at least worth mentioning. Therefore we added an editorial note to James Dignan s chapter on England and Wales and also included some new sta-tistical data in the summarizing chapters in volume 4. The data for England and Wales demonstrate a considerable decrease of juveniles sentenced to custodial sanctions, which is in line with international standards such as the Council of Europe s Recommendations (2003)20 and (2008)11 which call for using deprivation of liberty only as a last resort.Further country reports with minor amendments are Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine.The influence of international human rights standards such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Council of Europe s Recommendations mentioned above and the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights are clearly visible in recent jurisprudence and reform laws in Germany and Greece. The recent developments in many European countries support the general conclusions of the comparative research results gathered in the 4 present volumes. They indicate the emergence of a common Europeanphilosophy of juvenile justice based on human rights and efforts to effectivelyreintegrate young offenders.Vol. 1: Inroduction etc. and country reports: Austria - Belgium - Bulgaria - Croatia - Cyprus - Czech Republic - Denmark - England/Wales - Estonia - Finland - FranceVol. 2: Germany - Greece - Hungary - Ireland - Italy - Kosovo - Latvia - Lithuania - The Netherlands - Northern Ireland - Poland - PortugalVol. 3: Romania - Russia - Scotland - Serbia - Slovakia - Slovenia - Spain - Sweden - Switzerland - Turkey - UkraineVol. 4: Comparative analyses: The scope of juvenile justice systems in Europe / Young adult offenders in the criminal justice systems of European countries / Jurisdiction and cha-racteristics of juvenile criminal procedure in Europe / Sanctions systems and trends in the development of sentencing practices / Developing mediation and restorative justice for young offenders across Europe / Juvenile offenders in preliminary or pre-trial detention / Juvenile imprisonment and placement in institutions for deprivation of liberty - Comparative aspects /Juvenile justice in Europe - Legal aspects, policy trends and perspectives in the light of human rights standards / About the authors /mehr
