  In the most recent issue of journal Pro Futuro a work was released about the criminal liability of minors, written by Anikó Pallagi. Several references are made by the author to my study, written about juvenile delinquency in Hungary eight years ago and published in the journal of Prosecutors (in Hungarian: Ügyészek Lapja). Unfortunately, she did it inaccurately as my statements and conclusions were misunderstood by her. The quoted statements are from the chapter, dealing with the problems of juvenile delinquency investigations and as a consequence they can be evaluated explicitly in the sphere of complex problems of investigations. the penalisation-depenalisation processes – beside the significant demographic changes – should not be disregarded when determining possible tendencies. I do emphasise that the change in the threshold values is just one of the possible means of penalisation. The statistical data series are to be analysed critically, the phenomenon of latency has to be considered as well.

  The present article relates to water governance, and within that a specific Hungarian problem, namely, the cumulative water-related damage occurring in the Great Plain (floods, droughts and inland water) and the ambiguous situation of environmental services. Due to the complexity of the problem, the solution itself can only be systematic and can therefore only be solved in the context of integrated and adaptive water management. In Hungarian, this water management is defined as landscape-oriented water management by a research group connected to the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The possible implementation of landscape-oriented water management has recently emerged in connection with the development of agricultural irrigation. The novelty of this study is the assessment of the new Hungarian Act concerning the irrigation taking into account the different aspects of hydrology, pedology and jurisprudence.
