Abstract: Minors are not mature in their physical and mental development, and do not have full ability for criminal conducts, so they are treated differently in criminal justice. The United States has brought juvenile delinquency and identity violations into the jurisdiction of the juvenile court system to educate and reform the minors involved in criminal conducts. Through juvenile restorative justice,Britain provides a negotiation platform for resolving the conflicts and disputes between the involved parties, so that both parties have the opportunity to present their appeals without entering the judicial process. Through the system of educational record and elimination of criminal attaints, Germany tries to minimize the negative impacts on minors. Japan has established a multi-functioning family court system for juvenile crimes that does not file against the minors. With reference from the above, we can improve China's juvenile criminal jnstic system by improving the social investigation system, establishing a suitable adult participation system, and by improving community correction.

Key words: minor court, restorative justice, criminal attaint, social investigation, community correction
