Section 77w 
1.  The measure pertaining to the conduct of the juvenile may only be imposed if: 
a.  the gravity of the offence committed or the frequency of the serious offences committed or 
previous convictions for serious offences give cause to do so, and 
b.  the measure is in the interest of the best possible development of the defendant in the future.

2.  The court shall impose the measure only after a reasoned, dated and signed recommendation 
issued by the Child Protection Board, which is supported by at least one behavioural expert, has 
been submitted to it. Where the date of this recommendation precedes the commencement of the 
trial by more than one year, the court may only rely upon it with the consent of the Public 
Prosecution Service and the defendant.  
3.  The court shall specify the content of the measure in its judgment. The measure may entail the 
convicted offender’s participation in a programme in an institution to be designated by the court or 
participation in an extramural programme under the assistance and support of an organisation to 
be designated by the court. In the enforcement of the measure, the convicted offender shall 
cooperate with fingerprinting or provide an identity document, as referred to in section 1 of the 
Compulsory Identification Act, for inspection.
