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 punishment of offenders. Rather it aims at reforming the
juvenile delinquents.
•An important feature
of a proper juvenile justice system: Separate detention mechanism for
children and juvenile; distancing them from the contact of adult
prisoners.
