Abstract
In any society, due to their age (up to 18 years), minors constitute one of the most
important and vulnerable groups. Thus, their treatment and protection is of particular
importance, especially when they break the law and come into contact with criminal
justice. Therefore, for the treatment of minors in contact with the law, we must have
not only a friendly and functional justice system, but also a set of other actors involved
in the process. This means that it is necessary to have special programs aimed at
studying and dealing with issues for minors in conflict with the law. Programs, which are created and operate also at institutions, such as universities, that have a great
importance and impact on society.
This project aims to enable the creation in Albania, according to the best practices of
the European Union countries, a specific program, with the object of treating minors in
conflict with the law.
The Code of Criminal Justice for Minors, the first in the history of Albania, has brought
a new approach to the criminal justice system by putting the minor at the center,
strengthening the justice system in accordance with the principles of the United Nations
Convention on Children's Rights. Approximately five years have passed since the
adoption of the Code and there are no institutional structures, special programs or
specialized personnel for the treatment of minors in conflict with the criminal law.
Therefore, it is intended to create a special program for the treatment of minors in
conflict with the law in Albania, from the Faculty of Law, University of Tirana.
