Criminal justice-related government organs in Taiyuan (Shanxi Province) will begin implementing a nine-part project to improve legal aid and services for juveniles later this year. Included in the project are efforts to spread legal knowledge directly related to juveniles, such as the Juvenile Protection Law and Juvenile Crime Prevention Law. Also included are measures to guarantee the procedural rights of juveniles subjected to coercive measures, reduce custody time limits and improve custody conditions, simplify prosecution procedures and shorten case conclusion times. For convicted juveniles, greater emphasis will be placed on supervising and helping them after their release, with the potential to have minor criminal offenses erased from the records of youths who “perform well.”
