Article 91.
Releasing from criminal liability by applying educational coercive
measures
1. A minor having committed a criminal offence of minor or medium gravity for the first time
may be released by the court from criminal liability, where the court finds that his or her
correction is possible by applying educational coercive measures.
2. The court may impose on a minor the following educational coercive measures:
(1) warning;
(2) placing under supervision of parents or their substitutes or local self-government bodies or
a competent authority carrying out surveillance over the convict’s behaviour, for a maximum
term of six months.
(3) imposing a duty to settle the damage caused, within the time-limit defined by the court;
(4) restricting the leisure freedom and imposing special conduct requirements, for a maximum
term of six months.
3. Upon the motion of the competent authority carrying out surveillance over a convict’s
conduct, the court may impose other educational coercive measures on a minor.
4. Several educational coercive measures may be imposed on a minor at the same time.
5. Where a minor regularly evades an educational coercive measure, the materials shall, upon
the motion of the local self-government body or the competent authority carrying out
surveillance over the convict’s conduct, be delivered to the court to cancel the imposed
measure and to settle the issue of subjecting the minor to criminal liability.
6. When committing a new criminal offence, a minor shall not be subject to criminal liability for
the previous crime if, with regard to the latter, an educational coercive measure was applied
in respect of him or her.
Article 92.
Essence of educational coercive measures

the consequences of repeated commission of criminal offences provided for in this Code.
2. Placing under supervision is the imposition of a duty — of educational influence over a
minor and of supervising his or her conduct — on parents or their substitutes or the local selfgovernment body or the competent authority carrying out surveillance over the convict’s
conduct.
