Abstract

The note examines the evolution of juvenile justice systems, tracing the shift from a rehabilitative focus to increasingly punitive measures. It critiques this trend, advocating for a balanced approach that maintains procedural protections while incorporating rehabilitative programs. The author proposes a dual-purpose system that addresses societal concerns for public safety while ensuring equitable treatment and opportunities for reintegration.
