قانون حماية الطفل الجزائري تكريس لمبدأ أولوية الإصلاح على العقوبة

الملخص EN

The phenomenon of child delinquency has always been a legal and social dilemma at the same time which calls for concerted efforts to eliminate it or at least reduce it as the contepenporary criminal policy has decided to confront it through a protective criminal policy that tends to reform and discipline more than to deterrence and punishment committing a child to crimes does not mean treating him as an adult because he does not touch the crime for an evil that is embedded in it but because he is a victim of social conditions and this is what the Algerian legislator tried to consecrate through law 12/15 related to child protection by applying reform measures to delinquent children with priority being the best and most appropriate to restore evaluating them and rescuing them from the position of error and delinquency in which the fell and excluding the application of reduced penalty if the age circumstances and severity of the delinquent necessitated this while working to narrow the resort to it by searching for more effective alternatives in the reform of delinquents and this is what suggests the response of the Algerian legislator to the principle of priority reformation of punishment.
