Abstract
The construction of the graded intervention for juvenile delinquents should be guided by the internationally accepted principles of maximizing the interests of the child and the parental authority of the State. The principle of “education as the mainstay, punishment as a supplement” under the policy of tempering justice with mercy with Chinese characteristics should be established as well. The difficulties in the operation of this system in China lie mainly in the non-specific grading standard of delinquent behaviors, the failure of intervention measures to perform their expected functions, and the limited function of investigation and education in the case of conditional non-prosecution. In order to further improve this system, it is necessary to establish precise grading standards for juvenile delinquency, enhance the effectiveness of home and school discipline, optimize the system of specialized schools and conditional non-prosecution, and focus on strengthening the rule of law education for juveniles, so as to achieve a two-way balance between the protection of juveniles and the safeguarding of the interests of society.
