==Corrections System==
Denmark’s correctional system is structured in a humane approach. They believe in the rehabilitation and normalization model, and they are particularly willing to help young offenders. Denmark does not have a juvenile justice system for people who are below the age of 18. “In Denmark, it is generally believed to be inhumane and unjustifiable to apply harsh and severe sentences to children” (Kyvsgaard, 2004). The age of criminal responsibility is set at fifteen, and offenders who are younger than fifteen are handled through social welfare (Kyvsgaard, 2004). Even though the age of responsibility is fifteen, people under the age of eighteen can still get certain privileges that are not available for adults. Some of the privileges include shorter sentences, diversion to the welfare authorities, and special sentencing options (Kyvsgaard, 2004).
The local authorities play a vital role in how situations are assessed. It is the role of the police “to clarify the scope of the crime, to ascertain whether other persons were involved, and to confiscate stolen goods” (Kyvsgaard, 2004). If found guilty of a crime, there are different alternatives to incarceration provided for the youth in accordance to their age level and societal expectations. There are many programs in Denmark that are geared towards at-risk youth for intervention. For example, children need to participate in supervised activities that include sports, youth club, and other educational programs (Kyvsgaard, 2004). They are also given the tools they need to improve their home life. Children and their families are provided with practical support, financial support, educational support, and even family therapy (Kyvsgaard, 2004).

== Is denmark.dk really the official danish website? ==
As I said on my talk page, the link can't be to ] because the demonym is not an ethnonym, the demonym is a political term which refers to all citizens of Denmark, and in Denmark don't live just ethnic Danes, because the link should go to ], there are enumerated all ethnic groups who live in Denmark, including Danes.

No source for this, and it seems kinda strange that the tagline would be
:There is no question of what demonym means, and that is a shoddy source for something like that anyway. The question is how can "Dane" not link to "Danes" to explain the primary meaning of "Dane"?

Why has this been done differently than you want in every single article? ] (]) 19:07, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
:We have 2 parameters demonym and demographics. .... cuz they have two very different meanings.....eg...all people who are Canadian citizens (demonym) are called ] that is a parent article for all the people that breaks down the demographics of Canadians.

''Dane'' can't be linked just to ] because in Denmark don't live just ethnic Danes, we made a discrimination with this to all the people from Denmark who are not ethnic Danes.

:Hey, read the link ] or say you don't understand what a link is or what that one says. Why do you feel it is ok to ignore things you don't understand or don't want to understand without saying anything? Competence is required which includes being able to read instructions and follow them. If the "Danes" article does not accurately explain what a "Dane" is that is a problem for that article (it actually offers the demographics link at the top of the article). The link is fine.

== English & Danish names ==

And maybe add something about Skagen to clarify where the North Jutlandic Island is on the map.

*(also posted at RFC) "This is one of those places where ethnic identity becomes a little tricky. Technically, the term Danish is a national, not ethnic term. Any citizen of Denmark is a Dane. The vast majority of people in Denmark are of Scandinavian ancestry.... but when asked ancestral origin will say Danish". So let's cover both these aspects in the Danes article. Yes ancestral origin and ethnicity are not the same thing.... but the vast majority of people who answer these questions aren't aware of this so we should explain.....as we do with ] -] (]) 16:09, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

This article is not about the Danish Realm!The subject of this article is metropolitan Denmark, a constituent country of the Danish Realm. It does not include Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Issues related to those countries/territories should be discussed at their own talk pages.
