ABSTRACT

The juvenile system as a whole is based on the notion that society’s failure to give children with a loving environment that enriches them with care and protection is the root cause of their deviance, underscoring the need for a child-friendly and socially acceptable approach to juvenile deviance rehabilitation. It is debatable whether children should be tried in adult courts. Some claim that teenagers from committing horrible crimes are not adequately deterred by the current legal system.
