A public prosecutor, in a suspected juvenile case, may file a request for the measures prescribed in Article 17, paragraph (1), with a judge, in lieu of a request for detention; provided, however, that the request for measures prescribed in Article 17, paragraph (1), item (i) must be filed with a judge of the family court.
検察官は、少年の被疑事件においては、裁判官に対して、勾留の請求に代え、第十七条第一項の措置を請求することができる。但し、第十七条第一項第一号の措置は、家庭裁判所の裁判官に対して、これを請求しなければならない。
Upon receipt of the request prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the judge also has the authority that the family court does for the measures prescribed in Article 17, paragraph (1).

public prosecutor
検察官
The official who brings a prosecution (公訴) for a crime before a court (Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 247), and who may decide not to prosecute where, in view of the offender's character, age and circumstances, the gravity and circumstances of the offence and what happened after it, prosecution is not needed (Article 248). In criminal cases a public prosecutor asks the court to apply the law correctly and oversees the carrying out of its judgments; and, as the representative of the public interest, a public prosecutor also does the work other laws and regulations assign to a public prosecutor, which is not limited to criminal cases (Public Prosecutors Office Act, Article 4). A public prosecutor may investigate any crime (Article 6, paragraph (1)). Public prosecutors work through the public prosecutors offices (検察庁): the Supreme, High, District and Local Public Prosecutors Offices (Article 1).
