Abstract

DIONNE, Jacques  and  ALTAMIRANO, Cristian. The Challenges of a Real Youth Justice System: A Psychoeducational Perspective. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2012, vol.11, n.4, pp.1055-1064. ISSN 1657-9267.

The authors present the major challenges which, according to them, have to be achieved in order to establish a genuine juvenile justice system for delinquent adolescents in accordance with the principles of the International Children Rights Convention. These challenges are explained through a psychoeducational perspective, based upon the sixty years of experience of the Quebec Province in Canada, and upon the scientific literature on the most efficient interventions.

Keywords : Juvenile Justice; Children Rights; Rehabilitation; Staff Training; Educative Psychology; Public Policies; Interdisciplinary Research.
