Abstract

Diversion programmes play a significant role in the field of youth justice, as an alternative to the conventional court process, which aim to prevent the entry of the child into the formal justice system. A non - statutory diversion programme entitled the Garda (police) Liaison Scheme was established in Ireland in 1963, and was placed on a statutory footing by part 4 of the Children Act 2001, an Act which represents a major reform of the law pertaining to young justice. This article seeks to establish whether the purported benefits of the Garda (police) diversion programme outweigh any infringements on the rights of the child. The relevance of traditional due process rights in the context of the diversion programme is explored, as is the possibility that the diversion programme so differs from court proceedings as to warrant the application of a modified rights framework which departs from the conventional due process model.
青年罪犯的Garda转移:对正当程序权利的不合理威胁?
转管方案在青年司法领域发挥重要作用,作为传统法庭程序的替代办法,其目的是防止儿童进入正式司法系统。1963年在爱尔兰建立了一项名为“加尔达(警察)联络计划”的非法定转移方案,并由2001年《儿童法》第4部分确立为法定方案,该法案代表了对有关少年司法的法律的重大改革。本文试图确定加尔达(警察)转移方案的所谓好处是否超过对儿童权利的任何侵犯。本文探讨了转移方案背景下传统正当程序权利的相关性,以及转移方案与法院诉讼程序如此不同的可能性,以致有理由适用一种与传统正当程序模式不同的修改后的权利框架。
