The juvenile justice ideology emerged thus at the end of a century of developments which had separated children from criminal adults at all stages of the judicial and the treatment process. Children are the easy victims of the unlawful activities be it the petty offences or something as serious as trafficking or war crimes. Perhaps this is because of their innocence and /or their vulnerability, it is important to recognize that children are not born into crime; they may be led into it. They are innocent and, therefore, they need to be protected and safeguarded. However, those who have been victim of the situation needs to weaned away from it through child friendly ways. They need redirection and channelization of their spirits and energies.
