juvenile justice
Juvenile justice refers to the legal system that deals with individuals under the age of 18 who are accused of committing crimes. This system aims to rehabilitate rather than punish young offenders, recognizing that they are still developing and can change their behavior. The focus is on education, community service, and counseling, rather than incarceration.
In many countries, the juvenile justice system includes specialized courts, such as juvenile courts, that handle cases involving minors. These courts often provide a more supportive environment, with the goal of helping young people learn from their mistakes and reintegrate into society as responsible citizens.
