Abstract

A national analysis of the situation of children involved in judicial proceedings (as victims and witnesses in criminal proceedings, and as part to the civil proceedings) in Romania, conducted within the ‘Child Participation in Justice’ project of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). The research report, built on a mixed-methods large scale study (desk-research, 53 interviews and two focus-groups), showed that Romania was lacking a proper juvenile justice system or even a justice system that is adapted to the needs of the child.
