This study examines post-war justice in Czechoslovakia, focusing on individuals who committed serious crimes as minors but were prosecuted as adults. Following World War II, Czechoslovakia aimed to address Nazi occupation consequences and punish related crimes using the Great Retribution Decree (No. 16/1945 Coll.). However, this decree did not apply to serious crimes committed by minors, for which the Juvenile Criminal Justice Act (No. 48/1931 Coll.) provided the legal framework. The Extraordinary People’s Court in Pilsen handled many such cases, balancing retributive justice with the offenders’ age and maturity at the time of the crime. This study, through detailed archival research including court files and verdicts, explores these processes’ legal and social aspects. It examines the perception and handling of minor crimes, key evidence, testimonies, and imposed punishments, offering valuable insights into post-war justice in Czechoslovakia.
