About this statute

The law applies to criminal cases decided by certain named district courts, and it also applies when those cases are heard by a court of appeal or the Supreme Court. Section 12(1) applies in all district courts. Ungdomsstraff består av ungdomstjänst och övervakning. Ungdomstjänst är 10–60 timmar, och övervakning är 4 månader till 1 år; övervakningstiden börjar när verkställighetsplanen fastställs. A court may sentence a person who committed an offence before age 18 to youth punishment if the listed conditions are met, and the defendant must be heard in person first. Ett ungdomsstraff ska inledas utan dröjsmål när domen blir verkställbar; det kan också påbörjas tidigare med den dömdes samtycke, och det förfaller om verkställigheten inte har börjat inom tre år från den lagakraftvunna domen. If several youth sentences have partly overlapping supervision periods, supervision ends when the longest current supervision period ends, and youth service hours are added together up to a maximum of 80 hours.
