Specifications released for minors' social work

The Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League issued specifications for minors' justice social work services on Friday, aiming to protect the rights and interests of juvenile victims as well as offenders.

In February 2018, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League signed an agreement to explore a working mechanism for social support in improving judicial protection of minors, strengthening crime prevention and the protection of minors' rights and interests, so as to accumulate experience in building a social support system.

In April 2019, the SPP and the Central Committee of the CYL launched a pilot program to build a social support system for minors' work in 40 regions across the country.
