This paper discusses violence, abuse and neglect vis-à-vis children, and how these relate to youth offending. It cites State obligations prescribed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and underscores the importance of prevention and early intervention, especially through community -based and family -focused initiatives, in addressing juvenile delinquency.
