Youth offenders should be treated differently from the way adult offenders are handled. This measure intends to provide a just and more humane system of treating juvenile offenders in society through a comprehensive and integrated approach toward rehabilitating the delinquency. In consonance with the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UN Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Systems, the bill emphasizes on the need of rehabilitating and reintegrating the juvenile offender into the mainstream of society.
