Section 2 Prosecution and Criminal Trials
1 Disposition in public prosecutors offices
Table 3-2-2-1 shows the number of juveniles disposed in public prosecutors offices for cases referred to them by family courts (in accordance with Article 20 of the Juvenile Act) by type of offense and type of disposition in 2010. 96.9% of juveniles for cases referred to them by family courts were prosecuted and 9.1% of the prosecuted juveniles were indicted, with the reason for the percentage being so low that cases for violations of road traffic related acts accounted for approximately 90% of the total number of juveniles referred to them and most of them (98.7%) were requested for a summary order. With non-traffic penal code offenses and special act offenses excluding violations of road traffic related acts, 89.5% (92.1% of non-traffic penal code offenses and 77.1% of special act offenses excluding violations of road traffic related acts) were indicted.
