Children, the Justice System, Violent Extremism and Terrorism: An Overview of Law, Policy and Practice in Six European Countries
This report explores what happens to children when they come to the attention of the criminal justice authorities as a result of alleged involvement with terrorist activity in six European countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany and the Netherlands). It is also based upon input from practitioners in Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia and Portugal.
It considers if the existing law and policy frameworks are sufficient in terms of their compliance with international and regional standards on justice for children and highlights some promising practices that are currently being used to strengthen criminal justice and protection systems for children.
