Description
Hesse, a Federal State of Germany, opened its first Houses of Juvenile Law in December 2010 (Wiesbaden, capital of Hesse) and Frankfurt (largest city). Our accompanying research examined, within 18 months, legal proceedings and the development of cooperation. Besides the evaluation of case data, participants were questioned about expectations and state of the art in time intervals.
