Examination of Dilemmas and Pathways Optimization in Juvenile Justice—From the Perspective of “Minimizing Arrests, Prudent Prosecution, and Prudent Detention”

“少捕慎诉慎押”的刑事司法政策在未成年人司法实践中占据重要地位，是保护未成年人的合法权益的重大举措。然而，在实践中该项政策的落地面临存在司法理念亟需转型、社会危险性评估体系不科学、帮扶矫治机制不足、司法机关衔接不畅等困境。为此，应构建新型办案理念、科学评估体系，强化矫治教育，加强部门配合，为政策实施提供理论支撑与参考。The criminal judicial policy of “minimizing arrests, prudent prosecution, and prudent detention” plays a crucial role in the judicial practice concerning minors, representing a significant measure to protect minors’ legitimate rights and interests. However, in practice, the implementation of this policy faces dilemmas such as the urgent need to transform judicial concepts, an unscientific social risk assessment system, inadequacies in support and correction mechanisms, and poor coordination among judicial organs. To address these, it is necessary to construct new case-handling concepts and scientific assessment systems, strengthen corrective education, and enhance inter-departmental coordination, providing theoretical support and references for the policy’s implementation.
