This paper contradicts less penal imputation to 18-year-old minors. It refers to the duty of the Public Ministry to ensure individual rights, and collective and diffusive rights concerning children and adolescents as well. It emphasizes the following issues: a)18-year-old minors have criminal behavior which could be ruled according to our legislation but instead they are judged under the Statute of Children and Teenagers‘; (b) children and teenagers should be respected as people at a peculiar developing period of time; (c) integral prevention should be the case: social-educative measures, special assistance given to criminal adolescent who was set free, so as conditions for this teenager to be positively re-integrated within his/her familiar and social reality, having his/her potentials back.

Palavras-chave : Penal Imputability; Statute of Children and Teenagers’; Social-Educative Measures.
