Abstract

The issue of juvenile delinquency or juvenile criminality is an issue that traditionally occupies a special and very important place in criminal science. One of the indicators of the (un)success of the program through which minors pass during the educational measure of sending to the correctional institution, and thus the success in achieving the basic purpose of criminal law, is the number of persons who were again in the system (recidivists). Following the review of the basic theoretical conceptions, the authors presented international standards regarding child-friendly justice, as well as the normative framework in the Republic of Serbia that is relevant to the subject of this paper. In this sense, in terms of compliance with standards in practice, the authors presented the results of the research carried out by the Institute of Criminological and Sociological Research in cooperation with the OSCE Mission to Serbia in 2017. This is a part of the research related to the recidivism of persons released during the 2012 and 2013 from the Krusevac Correctional Institution. In the last part of the paper, the authors conclude that, in addition to legal standards, for the successful reintegration of minors, it is necessary to establish a good system of postpenal support.
