未成年人違法

未成年人在法律上被視為無犯罪能力的。

法庭有權(quán)裁量將任何未成年人的違法記錄進(jìn)行保密。

作為未成年人，他將不會(huì)因犯罪行為像成人一樣被起訴。

考慮到被告的年齡，法院決定給他緩期處刑。

已滿14周歲但未滿18周歲的人犯罪，應(yīng)當(dāng)從輕或者減輕處罰。

上訴法院廢除了少年法院簽發(fā)的監(jiān)護(hù)。

少年法庭的重心是使青少年違者回歸社會(huì)而非懲罰。

少年法庭可在任何時(shí)候刪除或者銷毀未成年人的記錄。

該少年違者被關(guān)進(jìn)教養(yǎng)院改造。

犯罪時(shí)他還未成年。
