CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY OF JUVENILES IN ALGERIAN LEGISLATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Juvenile means a child who has not reached majority age, crimes committed by juveniles are among the most common phenomena at present as a result of several factors related to the child's personal and social conditions.
Most legislation, including the Algerian legislature, seeks to address this phenomenon by imposing dissuasive penalties to prevent this criminal phenomenon. However, these penalties fit with the child's age and circumstances. Therefore, it differentiates between the criminal irresponsibility stage and between the reduced penalty stage, but in a reduced form compared to those imposed on the adult criminal.
