Nomination of the general chairman of the Council for the Administration of Criminal Justice and Protection of Juveniles
Mr L.A.J.M. (Leo) de Wit (1944) is to be nominated general chairman of the Council for the Administration of Criminal Justice and Protection of Juveniles (Dutch acronym: RSJ). He will therefore succeed Prof. P.B. Boorsma who left the organisation on 15 March 2012. Mr de Wit has worked within the justice sector since 1969, having held, among other posts, the position of Chief Public Prosecutor, in Breda, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
The Council for the Administration of Criminal Justice and Protection of Juveniles is a legally established independent body. Through the administration of law and the provision of advice the RSJ helps the government and relevant implementing organisations to pay sufficient attention to the principles of the proper treatment and the legal position of those who, within the framework of the enforcement of sentences and measures and the protection of juveniles, have been detained or entrusted to authorities under the responsibility of the State.
