Article 84 In selecting a correctional measure, the court shall take into consideration the juvenile’s age, maturity, other qualities, propensities, level of neglect in terms of their personal and educational development, motive for which the crime was committed, overall living environment before the commission, seriousness of the crime, whether the juvenile has previously received any correctional measures or sanctions and any other circumstances that may assist in the selection of the measure which best serves its purpose. Imposition of Correctional Measures Article 85 (1) Disciplinary measures shall be imposed on a juvenile who need not be submitted to extended correctional measures and, particularly, if he committed a criminal offence out of recklessness or levity. (2) Direct supervision measures shall be imposed on a juvenile if it appears necessary to submit him to extended measures of education, reformation or treatment with adequate supervision, but where it is not necessary to completely isolate him from his usual environment. (3) Institutional measures shall be imposed on a juvenile where it appears necessary to submit him to extended measures of education, corrective training or treatment but also to isolation from his usual environment and where the court finds that the purpose of correctional measures may not be achieved by applying the measures referred to in paras 1 and 2 above. Institutional correctional measures shall last, subject to the limits laid down by this Code, only until the purpose provided for in Art.82 hereof has been achieved. Reprimand Article 86 (1) Reprimand shall be imposed if it is considered sufficient to only reprimand a juvenile for a committed criminal offence. (2) When imposing a reprimand, the court shall point to the wrongfulness of his act to the juvenile and inform him of the possibility that a more severe sanction be imposed if he commits a criminal offence again. Referral to Juvenile Correctional Facility Article 87 (1) The court shall order referral to a juvenile correctional facility when it is needed to apply short-term measures in order to influence juvenile’s personality and behaviour.
