dc.description.abstract | The Child Justice Act provides a legislative context for probation practice. Probation officers as one of the key role players in the administration of child justice have an important responsibility in the development of this Act, since it will determine the nature and parameters of their role. The Child Justice Act needs to be aligned with other pieces of legislation that reflect a developmental approach in response to crime. A conscious reflection on this approach will help to remind probation officers and other justice officials about the overarching goals of the child justice system, namely, the prevention of crime and recidivism and to guide them towards suitable responses. | en_ZA |
