Abstract: The process of developing regulations on punishing minors regime can be traced from ancient times. Due to the special particularities of psycho-physical development of the child, a derogatory enforcement regime became necessary, giving priority to educational measures of punishment. The practical judicial phenomenon revealed, however, that usually, substantial penalties are applied, although its use hasn’t proven yet the performance of the primary purpose - social rehabilitation and correction of subjects beneficiaries. In line with European requirements on juvenile justice, the new Penal Code brings a substantive change by creating a special sanctioning treatment appropriate to age and personality in training, and commensurate with the status and severity of the committed crime. The "non-criminal" pattern, as it is called in legal literature focuses on the educational measures and monitors the social reintegration of children in conflict with criminal law.
