“…Questi sono portatori di competenze e conoscenze diverse da quelle giuridiche, contribuendo in tal modo a migliorare la comprensione e l'approccio alle questioni relative ai minori. Nondimeno, il sistema italiano è riconosciuto come uno dei più virtuosi in Europa(Panzavolta et al 2015;Vanderhallen et al 2016). In ogni caso, sebbene la Polonia non sia tra i Paesi europei più virtuosi in termini di politiche sociali destinate a famiglia e infanzia, dimostra di essere un Paese attento alla loro tutela.…”

Questo contributo presenta i risultati di un’indagine esplorativa comparativa tra Italia e Polonia riguardo al principio del superiore interesse del minore e alle responsabilità decisionali ad esso annesse. La metodologia adottata segue una logica ricostruttiva. Attraverso l’analisi testuale di alcune sentenze polacche e italiane e di alcune interviste somministrate a professionisti dei rispettivi paesi, è stato considerato il processo che dalla definizione teorica del superiore interesse del minore transita verso una sua concreta declinazione, quale è l’avvio di un programma mirato per la sua tutela. Il contributo mira a esaminare le prassi di implementazione sulla tutela dei diritti dei minori nei due Paesi considerando la loro adattabilità e variabilità in risposta ai diversi contesti politici e socioeconomici. Le differenze tra Italia e Polonia sottolineano la complessità delle sfide legate alla tutela dei diritti dei minori in contesti giuridici e culturali diversi.

Lawyers and children: Is there a need for mandatory legal assistance in suspect interviews?

In 2016, Belgium introduced legislation mandating legal assistance for juvenile suspects. However, legal assistance can only serve as an effective procedural safeguard if it is provided appropriately. The current study examined how lawyers in Belgium fulfil this role in practice. Seventeen video-recorded police interviews of juvenile suspects were observed. The juveniles were aged between 12 and 17 years, and were suspected of various less serious, volume crimes. The findings of this study show that the ‘law in action’ does not always reflect the ‘law in the books’. The mere presence of a lawyer is insufficient: it is necessary for them to actively engage. Although police interviewers typically adopt an information-gathering approach, some interviews do require the lawyer’s intervention to protect the juvenile’s interests. Moreover, lawyers often restrict themselves to ‘legal’ assistance and offer limited (emotional) support. Because there is no ‘appropriate adult’ regime in Belgium, lawyers could take up this double role. The information-gathering approach also seems to enhance cooperation between lawyer and interviewer, resulting in a joint search for the truth in which neither adopts an antagonistic role when interviews are conducted properly.

Exploring Children’s Understanding of the Legal Rights of Suspects in England and Wales

While studies have explored adult suspects’ understanding of their legal rights, seldom are the experiences of children and young people taken into account. In this article, we discuss findings arising out of research interviews conducted with 61 children and young people; many of whom have experience of being suspects. From listening to their points-of-view, we find that children and young people fundamentally lack understanding of the rights of suspects, and especially the inalienable nature of those rights. We argue this is not surprising when children are being dealt with in an adult-centred punitive system of justice, which is contrary to international human rights standards.
