***Pursuant to subsection 3 special rules of exclusion apply to young people between 15 and 18 years of age***. In case the young person has accepted withdrawal of charges on
condition of a ***so-called Youth Contract (“Ungdomskontrakt”) which equals probation, the withdrawal of charges will not appear on his criminal record after a time lapse of 1 year. The same applies to fines if the young person is fined for the first time for violation of the Criminal Code***.
The reasoning behind the masking of the sanctions after a certain time limit is that the convicted person should have the right to present a “clean” criminal record, e. g. when applying for a new job, after a certain lapse of time at which time he is supposed to have “paid his debts” to society. This certainly was the idea behind the introduction of Youth Contracts in 1990.
