'EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE' IS THE PRINCIPAL MEASURE TAKEN BY THE SWISS COURTS WITH JUVENILES AND CONSISTS OF SOCIAL WORK AS WELL AS SUPERVISION OF WORK, SCHOOL, AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES OF THE DELINQUENTS IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
Abstract
THE LAW DOES NOT SPECIFY CONDITIONS FOR ALLOWING THE COURTS TO TAKE THIS MEASURE. THE SOCIAL WORKER WHO SUPERVIZES THE DELINQUENT ACTS AS A COUNSEL TO THE JUVENILE'S PARENTS. DISCUSSED ARE THE AUTHORITY OF THE SOCIAL WORKER AND HIS WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE JUDGE AS STIPULATED BY LAW. --IN FRENCH
