Juvenile criminal law.
Juvenile criminal law governs criminal proceedings involving minors. In Swiss law, it aims not only to punish reprehensible behavior, but also to promote the rehabilitation and protection of the young people concerned.
Criminal proceedings involving minors are governed by specific rules set out in juvenile criminal law. These rules take into account the minor's age, personal circumstances, and the educational objective pursued by the authorities.
