Youth Courts
Youth Courts are specialized legal systems designed to handle cases involving minors who have committed offenses. These courts focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, aiming to guide young offenders towards making better choices in the future. Youth Courts often involve community members, including volunteers, who help facilitate the process and support the youth.
In a Youth Court, the young person may face a jury of their peers, which can create a more relatable and understanding environment. The outcomes often include community service, counseling, or educational programs, rather than traditional penalties, promoting accountability and personal growth for the youth involved.
