The work of a social worker with children and minors often includes activities in the context of criminal law, where social workers are responsible for protecting the rights and interests of minors, both in the role of victims and perpetrators of criminal acts. In this context, social workers have a key role to play in providing support, counseling and guiding minors through legal proceedings, while ensuring that the best interests of the child are respected. Given the specifics of the criminal justice system involving minors, social workers collaborate with various institutions such as social welfare centers, the judiciary and educational institutions. Their role in these processes includes assessing the psychosocial condition of the child or minor, proposing appropriate measures and creating intervention plans, all with the goal of rehabilitation and reintegration of minors into society. Also, social workers are often involved in making recommendations to the court about the possible imposition of educational measures or protective measures, as well as in monitoring the implementation of these measures. When working with minors who are perpetrators of criminal acts, social workers strive to ensure that punitive measures are in accordance with the principle of minimal intervention and are aimed at education, prevention and resocialization. Work with victims, on the other hand, is focused on providing psychosocial support, protection from re-victimization and assistance with recovery.
