Children: The most sensitive segment of any society.
•One important way in which the children’s special rights
and status are maintained is through establishing a separate juvenile
justice system. Unlike the justice system for adults, its aim is not the

proper juvenile justice system: Separate detention mechanism for
children and juvenile; distancing them from the contact of adult
prisoners.
