Juvenile criminal proceedings from the children's contact with police and judicial authorities are so important, in terms of acts against to the Criminal Code, terminating an investigation into allegations, or the need to provide anti-crimes preventive and corrective procedures. The most important point to consider is that the draft of new criminal procedure law approach is consistent with the view of supporting and lack of a coherent and comprehensive legislation on the preliminary investigation. So the creation of juvenile police, filing and handling character, verdict and sentence in the case of children and juvenile justice have been largely resolved. Justice strategies as well as new innovations in the bill are an attempt of the judges and officials to make it possible to be able to use restorative justice approaches. In another chapter to handle juvenile criminal cases, number of juvenile court officials has been held. Other innovations of the new draft Code of Criminal Procedure predict civil society in the proceedings of children and adolescents. Also on the bill, there are not only criminals, but victims who were also taken into consideration as well as the creation of specialized juvenile police in law enforcement.
