In accordance with the research done by Anton Van Kalmthout of the University of Tilburg (the Netherlands) about the application modalities of the pretrial detention measures and the bases for the Common European Regulations, emphasis is put on the fact that, in a lot of countries the pretrial detention of minors is done in worse conditions than that of adults.
