Through productive activities, delinquents are trained to acquire socially acceptable behavior with the help of social workers. This phenomenological study explored the social workers' experiences in handling juvenile cases. The study focused on 10 social workers from rehabilitation facilities of children in conflict with the law in the Zamboanga Peninsula Region, Philippines. The result of the study revealed that working with the juvenile's case, social workers have encountered positive and negative experiences. The study leads to the challenges and plight of social workers in their day-to-day activity in juvenile case management. As for how the participants coped with the challenges, they have been mentored and adjusted very well like their work. They also managed their challenges by viewing them as advocacy and service to humanity through altruistic activities.

In the past, the punishment of children was the same as the punishment of adults. This causes the psychological condition of children ranging from investigation, investigation and trial to be disturbed because it is often intimidated by law enforcement agencies. Under these conditions, Law No. 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Justice System was born. One of the reforms in the Child Criminal Justice System Law requires the settlement of a child criminal case by diversion. Based on the results of research that the conception of criminal offenses against children in conflict with the law in Indonesia is different from criminal convictions to adults. Children are given the lightest possible punishment and half of the criminal convictions of adult criminal offenses. That criminal liability for children who are ensnared in a criminal case according to the Law on the Criminal Justice System for Children is still carried out but with different legal sanctions from adults. Criminal imprisonment against children is an ultimumremedium effort, meaning that criminal imprisonment against children is the last legal remedy after there are no other legal remedies that benefit the child. That the concept of enforcement of criminal law against children caught in criminal cases through diversion is in fact not all have applied it. Some criminal cases involving children as the culprit, in court proceedings there are still judges who impose prison sentences on children who are dealing with the law.

AbstractIn a country where implementing children's rights in general remains a major challenge, the idea of according rights to children in conflict with the law can be a daunting task. With too many other children's problems to deal with such as the millions of street children and child laborers, female circumcision, and sexual violence against female children, the needs and rights of juvenile offenders could easily be relegated to the bottom of the government's priorities for children. Nonetheless, by virtue of ratifying the UNCRC in 1990, Ghana has made a commitment to address the needs and respect the rights of children in Ghana including its juvenile offenders. Thirteen years after ratifying the CRC, the Ghanaian Parliament passed the Juvenile Justice Act 2003 (Act 653). What rights does the Act accord children in conflict with the law? Do the policies and practices of the new juvenile justice system measure up to the standards of the Convention? These are the key questions addressed in this paper. The paper concludes that vis a vis the CRC, the new Juvenile Justice Act looks good on paper but argues that there is a colossal gap between policy and practice. The paper ends with suggestions on how to effectively protect the rights of children in conflict with the law.

The position of children who have special rights in the law makes children get special treatment. In the juvenile justice system in Indonesia, there are two systems of sanctions, namely criminal sanctions and actions, and this is done to realize the protection of children who are dealing with the law.  This research is a normative juridical review, using a statute, comparative and conceptual approaches. The results show that the imposition of sanctions on children is based on the child's age, where children aged 12 to before 14 years can only be sanctioned with actions, and children aged 14 to before 18 years may be subject to criminal sanctions or actions.

The pericope in Jas 2:14–17 has become iconic in our modern church culture. Although we quote from it regularly—“faith without works is dead”—we do not live it faithfully. In reimagining the body of Christ, the theme of this issue, it seems that the book of James and Luther’s response to it reflect the tensions we live in today. We are a society with a legal system built off the ideology of retributive justice. We are a society that claims to be built on Christian principles, yet James points to a very different justice system. James 2:13 states that “Mercy triumphs over judgment!” Although James never condones breaking the law (2:10–11), he does encourage mercy in place of judgment (2:13), especially when engaging the poor. Luther called biblical James a “book of straw,” as he touted his own mantra, sola fide, leaving us with a very significant dilemma. How should we understand saving faith? Does it simply require praying “the sinner’s prayer and shaking the pastor’s hand?” or ought it to be coupled with “works” becoming to one who has chosen to follow Jesus?

O termo “socioeducação” vem sendo amplamente utilizado no Brasil já há algumas décadas, especialmente, no terreno das tecnologias de atendimento a adolescentes em conflito com a lei. Todavia, parece não haver muita clareza em relação a que, precisamente, tal termo se refere, ao que se conclui que esse ainda carece de consistência conceitual. Este artigo teórico tem por escopo brindar a comunidade socioeducativa com uma proposta de delimitação conceitual para o termo, partindo do prescrutamento do percurso histórico do qual ele é tributário, bem como da análise crítica de sua utilização na legislação e na literatura. Tal perquirição histórico-legal conduziu à descoberta de que, no início do século XX, a compreensão de que, em seus anos iniciais, o indivíduo é mais suscetível à instrução e à correção adentrou o sistema de justiça juvenil, favorecendo a tese de que os menores infratores deveriam ser, em vez de punidos, reabilitados socialmente, por meio da educação. Desde então, uma intencionalidade corretora de condutas delitivas juvenis, mediante estratégias educativas, tem se alastrado pelo mundo, sob vários rótulos. Entende-se que a socioeducação é a versão brasileira e atualizada desse intento. Ela compreende os processos educativos direcionados aos adolescentes em conflito com a lei visando a não reincidência infracional. O estudo oferece uma contribuição ao desenvolvimento teórico da temática.Palavras-chave: Socioeducação. Definição. Conceituação. Medidas Socioeducativas. Adolescentes em Conflito com a Lei.AbstractThe term “socioeducation” has been widely used in Brazil already for some decades, especially in the area of care technologies for adolescents in conflict with the law. However, it seems that there is not much clarity about what it refers to, thus we conclude that it still lacks conceptual consistency. This theoretical paper aims to provide the socio-educational community with a proposal of conceptual delimitation for the term, starting from the historical route persecution from which it is tributary, as well as the critical analysis of its use in legislation and literature. This historical-legal perquisition led us to the discovery that in the early twentieth century the understanding that in the early years the individual is more susceptible to instruction and correction came in the juvenile justice system, favoring the thesis that minors offenders should be, rather than punished, socially rehabilitated through education.Since then, an intentionality of to correct juvenile criminal behaviors through educational strategies has spread around the world under several labels. We understand that socioeducation is the Brazilian updated version of this attempt. It refers to educational processes directed at adolescents in conflict with the law aiming at non-recurrence of infraction. The study offers a contribution to the topic theoretical development.Keywords: Socioeducation. Definition. Conceptualization. Socioeducative Measures. Adolescents in Conflict with the Law.
