Warning (juvenile criminal law)
As the mildest discipline in juvenile criminal law , the JGG provides for a warning in Section 14 . In the case of minor misconduct by the juvenile offender, it takes place through express reprimand on the part of the juvenile judge, who is not bound by any particular form. The aim is to show the perpetrator the consequences of the crime and the impending consequences of committing another offense. The only procedural difference between the warning according to Section 45 (3) JGG is that it may only be issued after the judgment has become final, based on Section 449 of the Code of Criminal Procedure . Therefore, another date must be set for the issue of the warning, unless the parties involved in accordance with § 2 JGG, § 302 Abs. 1 S. 1 StPO waive legal remedies, so that they could take place after the judgment. A written warning is also permissible, but is not considered to be particularly helpful as a special preventive measure. However, the judicial warning is likely to have too little effect on a regular basis to sufficiently impress the young offender, especially the adolescent, which is why a combination with instructions that is permitted under Section 8 (1) sentence 1 JGG (Section 10 JGG) or Conditions (§ 15 JGG) remain preferable.
