¿WHO ARE WE?
Juvenile Justice Advocates International is a Civil Association whose main interest is justice for adolescents in conflict with the law. The organization’s lines of work are aligned with the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the National Law of the Comprehensive Criminal Justice System for Adolescents regarding the use of detention as a last resort, under extreme circumstances and for the shortest time possible..
It is recognized that the reintegration of an adolescent begins at the time of arrest and is only successful in the absence of a recidivism. We are convinced that a comprehensive youth system is the conduit to promote successful reintegration and consequently impact public security.
JJAI and its Executive Director are part of the Advisory Committee of the Inter-institutional Group of the Comprehensive Criminal Justice System for Adolescents of the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System.
The Advisory Committee accompanies the Inter-institutional Group process to generate mechanisms and strategies for the implementation of the National Law of the Comprehensive Criminal Justice System for Adolescents. In particular, JJAI supports the federal entities in the development and implementation of the Risk Assessment Instrument, the Monitoring Instrument in Internment Centers and the Model of Accompaniment and Follow-up of Measures in Freedom.
