Child justice in South Africa

This monograph examines the history and current state of child justice in South Africa, specifically detailing the provisions of the new Child Justice Bill and its alignment with international standards.

• The Child Justice Bill aims to break the cycle of crime by implementing an enlightened approach to young offenders. This includes the use of community-based sentencing to divert child offenders away from the criminal justice system and establishing a legal foundation for restorative justice to address the needs of both perpetrators and victims.
