Criminal law for adults and minors

Criminal law governs the State’s prosecution of offences committed by individualswhether adults or minors, as well as the resulting penalties. Numerous rules govern the conduct of all criminal proceedings, from the initial investigations to the judgment, whether the offense is a simple misdemeanour or a serious crime. Minors are also entitled to specific rights and procedures that take their age into account, which must be respected.
