Jugendgerichtshilfebarometer 2022

The study about Youth Services in Criminal Proceedings 2022, a quantitative online institutional survey of youth services in this field, provides empirical data for an important task of youth services in Germany. The following questions, e.g., are answered: How is youth services in criminal proceedings organised? How do they fulfil their tasks? Is the existing structure of youth services in the context of juvenile criminal proceedings sufficient? How are cooperative relationships with other institutions and professions developing? Is there any potential that has not yet been tapped? A special focus lies on the implementations of the reform in the Juvenile Courts Act of 2019, which transposed the EU directive 2016/800 on procedural safeguards for children who are suspects or accused persons in criminal proceedings. A review will be followed by professional consequences and challenges for professionals in the field of youth services in criminal proceedings.
