Pursuant to Article 1 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a child is defined as every human being below the age of eighteen unless, under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier. The Serbian juvenile criminal law regulates the legal status of juvenile offenders. Thus, a juvenile is defined as a person over the age of 14 and under the age of 18 who, at the time of committing the crime, has not reached the age of maturity. Under the Act on Juvenile Offenders and Criminal Protection of Juveniles (2005), juveniles may be issued correctional measures, juvenile detention/prison sentence and security measures, except for the prohibition of engaging in a professional activity, occupation and duty. In this paper, the author focuses on the execution of institutional correctional measures imposed on juvenile offenders who have committed a property crime. Young persons under the age of fourteen are designated as children and they cannot be subjected to criminal sanctions or other measures provided under this Act, which ultimately implies that they cannot be active participants in crime.
Key words:
juvenile offenders, property crime, correctional measures
IZVRŠENJE ZAVODSKIH VASPITNIH MERA PREMA MALOLETNIM UČINIOCIMA IMOVINSKOG KRIMINALITETA U POZITIVNOM ZAKONODAVSTVU REPUBLIKE SRBIJE
Prema članu 1. Konvencije o pravima deteta, dete je svako ljudsko biće koje nije navršilo osamnaest godina, ukoliko se po zakonu koji se primenjuje na dete, punoletstvo ne stiče ranije. Naše maloletničko krivično pravo, utvrđuje krivično pravni položaj maloletnih lica. Tako se, kao maloletnik smatra lice koje je u vreme izvršenja krivičnog dela navršilo četrnaest, a nije navršilo osamnaest godina života. Na osnovu Zakona o maloletnim učiniocima krivičnih dela i krivičnopravnoj zaštiti maloletnih lica, maloletnicima se za učinjena krivična dela mogu izreći vaspitne mere, kazna maloletničkog zatvora i mere bezbednosti, osim zabrane vršenja poziva, delatnosti i dužnosti. U ovom radu, akcenat je stavljen na izvršenje vaspitnih mera zavodskog tipa prema maloletnim učiniocima imovinskih krivičnih dela. Lica u uzrastu do četrnaest godina života se nazivaju deca i prema njima se ne mogu primeniti krivične sankcije, niti druge krivično pravne mere. To znači, da ova lica ne mogu da budu aktivni subjekt krivičnog dela.
Ključne reči:
maloletni učinioci, imovinski kriminalitet, vaspitne mere.
