The scope of the Draft Law includes: Regulations on handling and redirecting juvenile offenders; penalties and procedural procedures for juveniles; community reintegration and support for victims; duties, powers and responsibilities of agencies, organizations and individuals in judicial activities of juveniles.

Speaking at the conference, comrade Tran Ngoc Son - Member of the Party Committee, Chief Justice of the Provincial People's Court thanked the delegates for their comments; at the same time, he hoped that the delegates would continue to study and contribute their comments on the draft law. The above comments will be compiled to submit to the Supreme People's Court for further supplementation and completion, and submit to the National Assembly at the upcoming session.
