Children in Conflict with the Law in Cebu: Profile and Experience with the Juvenile Justice Process

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: The study provides a profile of children in
conflict with the law and their experiences
with the juvenile justice process based on
empirical and quantitative data collected from
January 1999 to mid-2002.
The situational analysis of children in conflict with the law (CICL) in the
cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapulapu, and Talisay, as well as the Municipality
of Consolacion, is presented within the context of the Five Pillars of Justice
in the Philippines--law enforcement, prosecution, correction, court and
community. Information from multiple sources – CICL, the Five Pillars and
the duty bearers – using diffent methodologies were triangulated and
analysed. The highlights of the findings focus on the socio-demographic
profile of CICL in the five localities, the gaps or snags in the prevailing
juvenile justice process and the impact of these on CICL.Owner: Felisa U. Etemadi, Ching Li Ye and Cresencio Bermudez, Jr.pdf: www.crin.org/docs/resources/publications/violence/cebu.pdf
