About this statute

This law applies to investigations into the situation of a young person suspected of an offence committed when aged 15–20. This section defines four terms used in the Act: young suspect, young person's offence, sanction investigation, and social authority. The preliminary investigation authority must report a young person’s offence to the prosecutor, social authority, and Criminal Sanctions Agency within 14 days after the person is registered as a young criminal suspect, unless an exception applies. The prosecutor must, within 14 days after learning of a young person’s offence, request the Criminal Sanctions Agency to prepare a sentencing investigation, if a sentence stricter than a fine is expected. Brottspåföljdsmyndigheten must prepare a punishment investigation, gather relevant social information, and submit a written report.
