Criminal Justice Negotiation in the Field of Juveniles According to Law 15-12

Abstract

The monopoly of the state on the judicial function is the most important aspect of its sovereignty. The latter seeks through its judiciary to achieve justice, which is reflected in the issuance of enforceable provisions. However, countries have recently resorted to adopting alternative legal means to resolve disputes between the parties against the traditional judiciary and its complexities, which have made the process slow. One of the most important of these alternatives is the mediation method adopted by the Algerian legislator initially under Law 15.12, Provisions that would strengthen the role of the victim in the criminal case on the one hand and to devote the principle of reducing the punishment applied to the child delinquent on the other hand.
