Article 11 explained in plain English
This article sets the content of the juvenile's record in the Home, which is the record referred to in Article 19 of the Juveniles Law. The text does not set out the content of that article of the Law, so it must be consulted in the Law itself.
The provision the Regulations add: this record includes all the data on the judgments issued against the juvenile.
The word "all" means that the record is not limited to one judgment or to the last judgment, but covers every judgment issued against him. This ensures that the Home has the full picture of the juvenile's judicial position.
This record differs from the social report prepared by the Home under Article 9: the social report addresses the juvenile's condition and his family, social and psychological circumstances and is submitted to the court, while the record contains the data on judgments. The article does not state who may inspect the record or how long it is kept.
If you have a case involving a juvenile and want to know the provisions that apply to it, you can consult a lawyer who specializes in criminal and juvenile cases.
