Early initiation of gambling has been argued to be closely correlated with placing players at higher risk of developing problem gambling behaviour in the future. The vast majority of jurisdictions, including Great Britain, attempts to eliminate minors' access to gambling by making it illegal and by requiring gambling providers to adopt strict age-verification procedures. Despite those measures minors continue to successfully access gambling. This paper demonstrates that British legal framework suffers from many statutory loopholes. It considers weaknesses in the regulatory offences as well as enforcement deficiencies. It further highlights how the differences between black letter law, political rhetoric and practical application undermine the strength of the prohibition of gambling by minors.

Damage caused to another person assumes tort liability, providing that all the conditions specified by the law are met. National law stipulates that children under 7 years of age are not liable for damage they have caused, while minors over 7 years of age, if capable of reasoning, can be held liable for damage compensation. A minor attains general tort liability at the age of 14. Considering the fact that minors can be held liable for damage caused to another, the Serbian Obligations Act ("Law on Contracts and Torts") makes a justifiable distinction between minors of different age regarding their individual liability. This distinction is not common in other European legal systems. Yet, the author concludes that it would be sensible to postpone the process of establishing tort liability of a minor for a later period, when the minor attains full contractual capacity. The conclusion is based on two main reasons. The first one is the fact that parental right, which last until the said age, implies the parents' obligation to take care of their underage child. The second reason is the financial situation of the child that prevents him/her from compensating the damage s/he has caused to another person.

Due to the globalisation of the economy, migratory flows have increased significantly. Unaccompanied foreign minors have become a growing problem in recent years. The objective of this study is to make an analysis from a bibliometric point of view and to identify the main research trends concerning this topic by clusters identification. It has been observed that, above all, there are two main subjects that dominate the scientific literature in this field, the social sciences and medicine. The first one is the clearest in terms of legal and political implications, but the second one is related to the field of determining the age of minors by means of diagnostic tests. As to clusters, the following have been identified: First as a refugee&ndash ; asylum seeker, second as a refugees&ndash ; psychology, third as migration, fourth as age determination, and fifth as health care. Finally, the following temporal evolution of the issues dealt with in relation to unaccompanied minors has been observed: War, stress, migration, immigration, risk factors, health, legal aspects and, more recently, vaccination or age determination.

The first one is the clearest in terms of legal and political implications, but the second one is related to the field of determining the age of minors by means of diagnostic tests. As to clusters, the following have been identified: First as a refugee–asylum seeker, second as a refugees–psychology, third as migration, fourth as age determination, and fifth as health care. Finally, the following temporal evolution of the issues dealt with in relation to unaccompanied minors has been observed: War, stress, migration, immigration, risk factors, health, legal aspects and, more recently, vaccination or age determination.
