Question 4399 — criminal law

Summary

Mr. Philippe Schreck draws the attention of the Minister of State, Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the evaluation of the system and procedures for the appearance of juvenile offenders. France is facing a disintegration of its criminal treatment system for minors, with in particular an increased lengthening of the time between the commission of the offense and the conviction of the said minor. The establishment of the judgment in two hearings of a minor, whatever the type of crime, supposed to constitute an improvement in the quality of justice and an acceleration of the processing of cases, produces a number of negative effects. Indeed, the results are quite different: with the gap procedure in matters of criminal judgment of minors established by article 93 of law no. 2019-222 of March 23, 2019, it takes more than 18 months after the acts committed for the minor to be applied - or not - to a sanction, thus reinforcing a feeling of impunity which inevitably leads them to question authority, to recidivism, to the commission of increasingly serious acts and to becoming a long-term criminal. It appears that the Ministry of Justice is slow to draw the consequences, although visible and concrete, from this state of affairs. Unless there is an error or omission, there is no serious study to date and the data Statistics are only available until 2020. Since then, it's been a total blur! The MP therefore asks the Minister to make public the statistical data and studies proving or not the announced advantages of this system of caesura between the declaration of guilt and the pronouncement of the sanction. He also asks that an exhaustive evaluation be carried out of this gap system which, in view of the deterioration of the security climate and the increase in cases involving minors, is as urgent as it is essential.
