Popis: Sudovi za mladež diljem Hrvatske izriču sankcije maloljetnim počiniteljima kaznenih djela (maloljetnicima). Pri odlučivanju i odabiru sankcije imaju velike diskrecijske ovlasti što posljedično može dovesti i do neujednačenosti sudske prakse u maloljetničkom kaznenom pravu. Posebno se spornim pokazalo pitanje odlučivanja o primjeni maloljetničkog zatvora (koji se primjenjuje ultima ratio) te njegove modifikacije – pridržaja maloljetničkog zatvora. Stoga se u radu istraživanjem nastojalo razmotriti i uvidjeti postoje li određeni formalni kriteriji za razgraničenje pri odabiru primjene maloljetničkog zatvora od njegova pridržaja, odnosno kriteriji kojima se suci vode pri odlučivanju kada i u kojim slučajevima primijeniti maloljetnički zatvor, a kada njegov pridržaj. Slijedom toga, postavljena je i hipoteza (H): Postoje kriteriji za razgraničenje primjene maloljetničkog zatvora od pridržaja maloljetničkog zatvora. Za provjeru hipoteze u istraživanju se koristila normativno-deskriptivna, kvalitativna i deskriptivna analiza.
Juvenile courts throughout Croatia impose sanctions on juvenile offenders (juveniles). Their decision-making often raises issues of their discretion in deciding on the application of juvenile sanctions, especially juvenile incarceration and its suspension (Reservation of the Right to Impose the Sentence of Juvenile Incarceration), which can be a significant issue in terms of the uniformity of the juvenile case law. Therefore, the research sought to examine whether there are certain formal criteria for distinguishing the application of juvenile incarceration from its suspension (Reservation of the Right to Impose the Sentence of Juvenile Incarceration), or if there are criteria that judges use when deciding when and in which cases to apply juvenile imprisonment, and when its suspension. Consequently, the following Hypothesis is set: There are criteria for distinguishing the application of juvenile incarceration from the suspension of sentence of juvenile incarceration (Reservation of the Right to Impose the Sentence of Juvenile Incarceration). Normative - descriptive, qualitative and descriptive analyses were used to test the hypothesis in the research.
