澳門《違法青少年教育監管制度》的改革與完善

The current educational system within the jurisdiction of Macao’s youth jurisdiction falls under Law No. 2/2007 “Educational Tutelary Regime for Juvenile Offenders”. Since it came into effect in October 2007, nearly 17 years of judicial practice have increasingly highlighted the failure to keep up with the times. There is an urgent need to improve and update the above-mentioned legal system. Based on judicial practice, this article believes that the “Educational Tutelary Regime for Juvenile Offenders” should be reformed and improved with the times, especially to improve the protection of the right to defence, the principle of the urgency of procedure and the appeal system, as well as to reform and strengthen the judicial organs and criminal police. To help juveniles who break the law take responsibility, rehabilitate themselves and integrate into society. The specialization of agencies ultimately achieves the goal of protecting juveniles and maintaining peace and order in society.
