“…According to the general movement that was occurring elsewhere in Western Europe at this moment, a new judicial system to judge and correct juvenile delinquents emerged with a tutelary philosophy under a positivistic influence that considered juvenile delinquents to be unhealthy and dangerous children in need of correction and education (Binder, Geis, & Bruce, 1997;Junger-Tas, 1994;Walgrave & Mehlbye, 1998;Weijers, 1999). Therefore, the concern of this court was not only children who commit crimes but also children who were in poverty, were neglected or abused, or were unruly or committed status offenses; later on the court's concern expanded to include those children who behaved in an idle or dissolute manner (prostitute minors and layabouts or slackers).…”

Although the juvenile justice system in Spain emerged at the beginning of the 20th century, in accordance with the general movement at that moment in the Western world, the distinctive circumstance of the Franco dictatorship (1939 to 1975) meant that Spain maintained a tutelary approach while things were changing in the rest of the Western world. Spain presently has a criminal responsibility law for juveniles, Organic Law 5/2000 of January 12, which came into effect January 13, 2001 at a moment when criminal justice policy in general and juvenile justice policy in particular were in crisis. Although the law initially was conceived as a progressive law, the end result, after some criminal justice policy decisions, was the minimizing of some of the fundamental principles of law. Spain, in this sense, has embraced a much more repressive approach, paralleling new trends elsewhere in the Western world.

“…Nous pouvons affirmer malgré les particularités propres à l'histoire portugaise en matière de justice juvénile, que les conditions qui ont déclenché la réforme sont communes aux conditions qui ont entouré les mutations vérifiées depuis les années 80 dans d'autres pays, que ce soit en Amérique du Nord ou en Europe et qui ont été interprétées comme le remplacement du modèle de protection par un « modèle de justice », ou encore par un retour au droit pénal et par une punitivité accrue (e.g. Junger-Tas, 1994 ;Muncie, 2005 ;Bailleau et Cartuyvels, 2007 ;Mucchielli, 2015).…”
