For children and teens who come into contact with the juvenile justice system, rehabilitation not punishment must be the priority. These young individuals often come from environments of trauma, poverty, or neglect. With the right support, they can be redirected toward productive and fulfilling lives.
Juvenile rehabilitation focuses on guiding young people in conflict with the law toward positive paths through counseling, education, and skill-building programs. Rather than punishment, the goal is to reintegrate youth into society as responsible citizens.
Conclusion
Counseling and behavioral therapy. Vocational training and education. Family reintegration programs and community mentoring. Compassionate, community-based interventions are more effective than punitive systems in breaking cycles of crime and trauma.
