| Since juveniles can be reformed, the principle of the division is "better to teach than to punish." If a Juvenile Division judge considers it appropriate to impose a penalty on a juvenile, he/her may transfer the cases to the public prosecutor for investigation. These cases are taken only when the juvenile is over fourteen and has committed a serious or specific crime, such as theft, receiving stolen property, causing injury, interference with public functions, etc. The Juvenile Division handles all other cases as reformatory cases, and juveniles are referred to their legal agents for intensive education and care or given one of the following three punishments if necessary: 1. reprimand, and guide and assistance on holidays and vacations; 2. probation; 3. reformatory education. In addition to these measures, compulsory or medical treatment may also be imposed. |
