Support for juveniles and adolescents through juvenile court assistance
In the case of investigations and/or criminal proceedings against juveniles (14-17 year olds) or adolescents (18-20 year olds) who have come into conflict with the law, the juvenile courts automatically call upon juvenile court assistance to support the juvenile or adolescent and their legal guardians or family members.
A team of experts, consisting of (socio-pedagogical) employees of the competent authority, advises the young people or adolescents in the run-up to the investigations, accompanies them to the court hearings if necessary and also takes over the care up to the necessary reintegration measures after completion of the procedure. If no probation officer is appointed by the juvenile court, the juvenile court assistance also monitors compliance with judicial requirements and instructions.
