Write a note on the juvenile justice system in Pakistan. 1. INTRODUCTION: Juvenile delinquency refers to the illegal or criminal behavior committed by minors, typically individuals below the age of 18 years, who are considered juveniles under the law. These young individuals engage in activities that violate societal norms, laws, or regulations. The aim of the juvenile justice system is to address and rehabilitate juvenile offenders rather than subjecting them to the same criminal justice system as adults.
2. Meaning of Juvenile Delinquency: “Juvenile delinquency refers to the illegal or antisocial behavior of minors (typically under 18), engaging in activities that violate the law or social norms.” 3. Definition of Juvenile Delinquency in Pakistan: “Juvenile delinquency in Pakistan refers to the involvement of minors, typically individuals below the age of 18, in illegal or criminal activities.” 4. Explain the criteria used to determine juvenile delinquency: Juvenile delinquency is determined by age-based legal definitions of misconduct committed by minors. Factors considered include age, nature of offense, and intent. When a young person violates laws or engages in criminal behavior, they may be labeled as a juvenile delinquent, subject to juvenile justice interventions aimed at rehabilitation and reintegration. 5. Key factors contributing to juvenile delinquency in Pakistan: • Socioeconomic factors: Poverty, lack of access to education, and unstable family environments can increase the likelihood of juveniles engaging in criminal activities. • Influence of peers: Negative peer pressure can push young individuals towards delinquent behaviors. • Drug abuse: Substance abuse can lead to delinquency among juveniles, as it impairs judgment and decision-making. • Lack of parental guidance: Absence of parental support and supervision can contribute to delinquent behavior.
• Juvenile justice system issues: Inadequate facilities and rehabilitative measures may not effectively address the root causes of delinquency, leading to recidivism. 6. Juvenile System In Pakistan: The juvenile justice system in Pakistan is designed to cater to the legal needs and protection of children who are accused or convicted of committing crimes. It aims to ensure that young offenders receive fair treatment and appropriate rehabilitation while safeguarding their rights and interests. This note provides an overview of the key components of the juvenile justice system in Pakistan. • Definition of a Juvenile: “Juvenile means a child who may be dealt with for an offence in a manner which is different form an adult.” • Legal Framework: The juvenile justice system in Pakistan is governed by the Juvenile Justice System Ordinance (JJSO) of 2000. This ordinance outlines the legal procedures and guidelines for handling juvenile cases, ensuring they are in line with international standards and conventions. • Juvenile Courts: Special Juvenile Courts are established to handle cases involving children accused of committing crimes. These courts aim to provide a child-friendly environment and prioritize the best interests of the child throughout the legal process. • Rights of Juvenile Offenders: The juvenile justice system in Pakistan places emphasis on upholding the rights of young offenders, such as the right to legal representation, the
right to remain silent, and the right to protection from physical and psychological harm. • Diversion Programs: Pakistan's juvenile justice system encourages diversion programs for minor offenses, aiming to keep young offenders out of formal court proceedings. These programs focus on rehabilitation, education, and community service instead of punishment. • Rehabilitation and Reintegration: The primary goal of the juvenile justice system is to rehabilitate juvenile offenders and reintegrate them into society as responsible and law-abiding citizens. Rehabilitation programs include education, counseling, vocational training, and skill development. • Detention as a Last Resort: In cases where detention is unavoidable, the system ensures that it is used as a last resort and for the shortest possible duration. Detained juveniles are kept separate from adult offenders to protect them from harm and negative influences. • Specialized Personnel: The juvenile justice system employs specialized personnel, including social workers, psychologists, and counselors, who work with young offenders to understand their unique needs and challenges. • Confidentiality: To protect the privacy and future prospects of juvenile offenders, the system maintains confidentiality regarding their identities and cases, avoiding public exposure and stigmatization.
