In this article, juvenile prosecutor Ad de Beer takes a critical look at the regulatory schemes surrounding the penal measure of placement in an institution for juvenile offenders (the ‘PIJ’ measure). Since the entry into force of the new Juvenile Law 2015 on January 1st 2015, three ways currently exist to discontinue the PIJ measure for an individual offender. While arguing that this legal reality is very confusing for practitioners, De Beer tries to untangle this complicated set of schemes.
