Abstract
Recently, Italy has witnessed an input of legislative measures aimed at reducing and combating juvenile delinquency and its causes. Some particularly serious acts committed by underage adolescents have been the subject of media attention and caused social alarm in the community. The so-called Caivano decree, implemented by the Italian government, aimed to provide support and educational opportunities to children from economically and culturally disadvantaged backgrounds but, in fact, shows a wider scope and heterogeneous content in the field of juvenile criminal justice. Following this legislative change, the system of laws and regulations thus established must be analysed and its suitability to meet the educational neeeds and the minors' best interests must be assessed.
