youth protection
The totality of legal regulations and measures intended to protect children and young people in public and from harmful influences. This concerns, for example, the consumption of alcohol and tobacco or access to certain media.
Der Verkauf von harten Alkoholika an 16-Jährige ist ein klarer Verstoß gegen den Jugendschutz.
The sale of hard liquor to 16-year-olds is a clear violation of youth protection laws.
This word is made up of 'Jugend' (youth) and 'Schutz' (protection). The 's' in the middle is a linking s that connects the two parts of the word. So the meaning is literally 'the protection of youth.'
Der Jugendschutz soll Kinder und Jugendliche vor Gefahren bewahren.
Youth protection is meant to protect children and young people from dangers.
Because this is a legal term, 'Jugendschutz' (youth protection) is often used with certain verbs. Common combinations are 'gegen den Jugendschutz verstoßen' (to violate youth protection laws) or 'den Jugendschutz einhalten/beachten' (to comply with/observe youth protection laws).
Der Ladenbesitzer wurde bestraft, weil er gegen den Jugendschutz verstoßen hat.
The shop owner was punished because he had violated youth protection laws.
The term 'Jugendschutz' (youth protection) is the basis for a specific law, 'das Jugendschutzgesetz' (Youth Protection Act, JuSchG). This law regulates many practical things, for example which films children are allowed to watch.
Im Jugendschutzgesetz steht, dass man Zigaretten erst ab 18 Jahren kaufen darf.
The Youth Protection Act says that you may only buy cigarettes from the age of 18.
youth welfare services
Both words refer to measures concerning children and young people. “Jugendhilfe” covers concrete counseling, support, and assistance for young people and families, while “Jugendschutz” is intended to protect them from harmful influences and certain dangers. When the subject is help for a family, “Jugendhilfe” is the appropriate term; for protective rules, “Jugendschutz” is the right term.
Der Jugendschutz soll verhindern, dass Jugendliche im Internet auf schädliche Inhalte zugreifen.
Youth protection is intended to prevent teenagers from accessing harmful content online.
Die Familie wandte sich an die Jugendhilfe, weil sie Unterstützung bei der Erziehung brauchte.
The family turned to youth welfare services because they needed help with raising their children.
