| Innhold: | Resumé
In 2018, the Danish Parliament passed a political reform addressing serious youth crime. As part of the reform, the Youth Crime Board was established in 2019. The objective of the Youth Crime Board is to prevent youth crime by appointing targeted individual preventive actions for young individuals aged 10-17 who are suspected of (10- to 14-year olds) or who have received a custodial sentence (15- to 17-year olds) for having committed violent offences or other serious offences. The Board consists of a judge, a police employee, and a municipal employee who have the authority to determine if a referred child/adolescent is to be enrolled in a prevention and rehabilitation programme (forbedringsforløb), to impose an immediate reaction (straksreaktion) on the child/adolescent, to decide on a combination of the two or to decide on no action. In this essay, we highlight some of the most important experiences from the first three years with the Youth Crime Board – what works, and what does not – based on the findings from five out of six partial evaluations of the Board conducted by the Ministry of Justice’s Research Division. We also touch upon the legislative changes that recently have been made to the Youth Crime Board as a consequence of these findings.
