Multi-level Juvenile Delinquency Correction

by Li Zhuoxi

Dealing with juvenile delinquency is a global concern.

To improve the correctional education of minors involved in crimes， a multi-level system will be established to prevent juvenile delinquency， improve family education and diversify correction measures according to a recent work plan released by the Supreme Peoples Procuratorate of China for the period from 2018 to 2022. Chinese prosecutors will clarify offense levels in crimes committed by juveniles to properly align punishments with the severity of the criminal acts.

For judicial protection of juveniles， China insists on education first， with punishment reserved only as a supportive approach. China believes in forgiveness but also in strict discipline through deep love.
