Juvenile Justice Manual
This manual has been developed as part of a joint UNICEF and Penal Reform International (PRI) effort to sensitise and strengthen the capacity of the various actors involved in the area of juvenile justice, in particular UNICEF staff and their governmental and non-governmental counterparts. It contains resources in the form of easy-to-use modules and slides, as well as training tips and quizzes.
The manual aims to provide guidance for organising juvenile justice training. The key message of the materials is to encourage the development of an effective juvenile justice system that safeguards the rights of the child and leads to the use of diversion approaches at all stages and by all actors.
The manual’s emphasis is to encourage that from arrest onwards children are dealt with in accordance with international standards. Thus, diversion aims primarily at preventing re-offending. But the prevention enterprise is a far more complex and multi-dimensional issue linking family, school and community interventions out of the scope of this training manual.
