Support for young people and adolescents through youth justice assistance
In the case of investigations and/or criminal proceedings against young people (14-17 years old) or adolescents (18-20 years old) who have come into conflict with the law, the youth courts automatically use youth court assistance to support the young person or adolescent and their legal guardians or family members.
A specialist team consisting of (social pedagogical) staff of the competent body advises the young people or adolescents in the run-up to the investigation, accompanies them to the court proceedings if necessary, and also takes care of them after the completion of the proceedings. necessary reintegration measures. Insofar as no probation officer is appointed by the Youth Court, the Youth Court Assistance also supervises the fulfilment of the judicial requirements and instructions.
The Youth Court Assistance informs the Youth Court about the personal background and social context of the accused. It makes proposals for the application of general criminal law or juvenile criminal law to adolescents. The Youth Court Assistance expresses its opinion on measures (youth assistance) for the reintegration of young people or adolescents.
The responsibility lies with the district and the district-free city or a recognized provider of free youth assistance.
