The Minister of Justice George Floridis During the interview with the national strategy in the field of violence and infringement of minors, he said that new reforming measures for offenses are not what were known so far, but their penalties have now become athletic activities and cultural events and the aim of these measures.
It is recalled that one of the new reforming measures for minor delinquency is the integration of minors, in mild sports monitoring programs in amateurly recognized large polyatrical and sports clubs or in providing public work.
The Ministry of Justice has organized three weapons to reintegrate minors from 12 to 18 years of age convicted of relatively low gravity offenses (not crimes) to stay out of prison: the first is sportthe second o culture and the third or Public Benefit.
Thus, the young people from 12 to 18 years old will not be trapped in penitentiary institutions and will not be imposed by other prison measures, but as a reforming measure, they are able to monitor sport and cultural activities.
Only if the offending minors violate mild reform measures will they be taken to prisons, the Minister of Justice said and added that “Youth offender will now turn their anger and indignation into positive measures.”
Furthermore, provisions on the protection of minors in cases of domestic violence were adopted, with the tightening of penalties against the perpetrators, Mr Floridis said and added that at the same time parents, according to the new penal code, would face heavy penalties.
Mr Floridis also said that the operation of the ‘Child’s houses’ in Athens, Piraeus and Thessaloniki and will immediately be established in Heraklion and Patraswhile the establishment will be found in 19 areas across Greece. The Minister of Justice even clarified that in the “child’s homes” all the investigative acts are made against minor offenders in a friendly environment with psychological support.
For the crime of recruiting minors
Special mention was made by Mr. Floridis To legislate the offense of “recruiting minors” by third parties to do criminal acts and pointed out that the offenses are heavy.
In particular, the relevant provision of the new Criminal Code (Article 186 (4)) states:
‘Challenge and offer to commit a crime

2. Anyone who gives or promises a remuneration to another to carry out a certain misdemeanor, as well as who accepts this offer and undertakes to commit him is punishable by imprisonment of up to 2 years or a fine if the act is not heavier by another provision.
3. The acts referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 may be unpunished if the culprit has recalled on his own will to offer or accept it before the commencement of the crime.
4. Where the acts referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be a minor, they shall be punished by a prison sentence of at least 1 year and a fine in the event of a felony and a prison sentence and a fine in the case of a misdemeanor, regardless of the provision or promise of a remuneration. “
