After the drama of Viry-Châtillon in Essonne, where Shemseddine, 15, was beaten to death near his college (which led to the indictment of four people, including three minors), the government decided to respond. This Thursday, April 18, the Prime Minister Gabriele Attal visited the city of tragedy to announce a series of announcements aimed at reforming juvenile justice.
Even more punitive measures for minors
The Prime Minister has announced a three-pronged plan. The first is for “get to the root of the problem” – with the measures on school, screens or parental responsibility, already recalled by the government during the urban riots in June. The second axis desires ” to accompany “ young people identified as “receipt”. The latest concerns a vast reform of juvenile justice, where the aim is to “adapt” criminal laws.
Therefore, the government will create a circular of “educational measures of interest”which act as a sort of work of general interest for children under 16. A system that will be put in place in the coming weeks, as soon as spring break returns.
From a legislative point of view, Gabriel Attal hopes openness to the immediate appearance of young people from the age of 16, with any sanctions pronounced within the same deadline, as for adults.

Today, ” the juvenile court and the juvenile assize court cannot impose a prison sentence exceeding half the sentence imposed “. It can only be revoked for minors aged 16 and 17 and only upon a reasoned decision.

Young people hope so too “who are starting to move away” and are identified in school attendance “systematically” to an immediate court appearance “understand the rule” and the sanctions they risk.
