The answer to the problem of juvenile delinquency in Romania, in terms of legislation, sanctions and programs formulated to counter it, is an issue that should not be neglected in order to find the best solution to correct the behaviour of juvenile offenders. Regarding the law, juvenile offenders appear as a special category due to their age, highlighted through the sanctions elaborated by Romanian legislator that recommend applying educational measures in favour of punitive ones, and the incarceration to be considered as the „ultima ratio” which can be applied only in the event of serious violation of criminal law. As an alternative to imprisonment, probation is recommended to juvenile offenders who are either at their first offence, or they committed low severity crimes, in order to protect the minors against the incarceration fallouts, ensuring them mostly re-educative possibilities of social reintegration in favour of punitive ones.
