330 _aGreece was a homogeneous society until the 1990’s. This homogeneity resulted in a criminal justice system that relied largely on the effectiveness of informal social control. However, the country has experienced rising crime in recent years. Anonymity, heterogeneity, and urbanization are constantly increasing, while informal controls are decreasing and formal controls are not effective. The statutory minimum age of criminal responsibility is 12 years; the age of full adult criminal responsibility comes with the 17th birthday. The Greek Penal Code took effect in 1950. Additional special penal laws regulate other matters and include penal provisions as well. The Greek criminal justice system rests on the Continental tradition and is basically inquisitorial, with strong adversarial elements. Plans for reform of criminal codes, police, crime prevention, victim services, and international agreements are under way. Tables, footnotes, and 51 references
