The purpose of the institutional measures is to achieve the minor's education and re-education in an institutional environment under the constant supervision of professionals. The educational measure of placement in an educational institution may be imposed by court or center for social work, while the educational measure of placement in a correctional institution may impose only the court. Both institutional measures must comply with the general legal conditions. According to the statistics the trend of measures has been reducing, due to the fact that the juvenile crime has been reducing too.
