A study on the developments of the Criminal Procedure Code: adolescent’s criminal provisions

The previous shortcomings in children and adolescents’ criminal provision caused reconsideration on some relevant regulations in criminal procedure code passed in 2013. So the main question is that how much successful have those changes been in order to meet the adolescent’s benefit and also to what extent have the obstacles been removed. This study taking a descriptive- analytical method and using library resources finds that despite some alteration made by the legislator there still some problems remain. Among those are the possibilities of warranty for bail and security only for adolescent not for the parents, the existence of ambiguity in the meaning of Bail and its conditions, issue of claiming bail from a teenager under the age of 18 who simultaneously is admissible to sign a contract.
