MONEY LAUNDERING THROUGH CRYPTOCURRENCIES: INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Main Article Content
Abstract
Juvenile delinquency is a complex social and legal phenomenon requiring a multidimensional approach incorporating psycho-social, educational and legal analyses, given its severe impact on individuals and society. It refers to unlawful behaviours committed by minors who have not yet reached the legal age of maturity. In Algeria, this group is distinguished by a specific legal system that ensures they are treated according to their age-related characteristics, as outlined in Law 15-12 and the Penal Code.
Delinquency is caused by a combination of factors, including family disintegration, a lack of guidance, improper upbringing methods, disturbed social environments, school failure and peer group influence. This phenomenon is addressed through two main approaches: prevention, involving the provision of social care and the instilling of positive values in young people; and legal protection, focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment, in line with international standards such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Beijing Rules. Furthermore, Algerian law establishes specific procedural guarantees aimed at reintegrating juveniles into society and safeguarding them against reoffending or social exclusion.
