Act no. 218/2003 Coll. on liability of juveniles for illegal acts and on juvenile justice established new rules in criminal proceedings with juveniles and introduced brand new methods of sanctioning juvenile delinquents in criminal processes, specifically it introduced a number of new measures which can be administered as punishments for wrongdoings including the possibility of alternative solutions to committed wrongful acts. The degree work is divided into two parts. The theoretical portion provides information about potential solutions and approaches when measures are administered in criminal proceedings with juvenile offenders including the theoretical background. The empirical portion maps out the ratio of measures administered by prosecuting and adjudicating bodies in pre-trial proceedings and measures administered by juvenile courts; the degree work also summarizes all solutions to criminal matters related to juveniles; the quantitative research focused on the District Court in Strakonice during the period of 2004 and 2008. The objectives of the research correlated with hypotheses which the author based on her experience gained in her job as a juvenile social probation officer. The research showed that during the monitored period 64% of juvenile criminal issues were resolved directly by the juvenile court and only 36% of acts committed by juvenile delinquents were closed by prosecuting and adjudicating bodies during pre-trial proceedings. The second portion of the research proved that the most frequently utilized measures {--} 54% - were criminal sanctions; 44% of juvenile criminal cases were solved by means of alternative measures, while reformatory measures were administered only to 2% of juvenile delinquents and protective measures were not utilized at all. The degree work was intended to briefly demonstrate whether the purpose of the Act on juvenile justice is fulfilled. Its onclusions are intended for professional public and for all people who are interested in criminal law, criminal proceedings and juvenile delinquency.
