Abstract

The commentary examines the roots and implications of an interesting Supreme Court decision that rejects the incorporation of DNA-fingerprints in adolescent criminal liability cases. The effects of including the genetic prints of a minor in the Criminal Registry are incompatible with the objectives of the criminal system for minors. According to this analysis, such effects would entail a legal reaction or penalty sanction. From this perspective, it is possible to extrapolate a series of effects (not immediately apparent) with general applicability (i.e. applicable to the general adult system) that are worth taking into account.

Keywords:

DNA-fingerprint, adolescent criminal liability, ancillary or accessory penalties
