| dc.description.abstract | This study explores the challenges of rehabilitating the juvenile delinquents in Uganda. In Uganda, juvenile delinquency has become a threat to urban Centers and families; with major characteristics of theft, arson, drug trafficking, addiction to commit crimes which altogether have constituted a threat to the general public. By 1960s, the Government of the Republic of Uganda had realized a threat emanating from the juvenile delinquents and thus came up with the construction of rehabilitation centers among which were Naguru Remand Home and Kampiringisa National Rehabilitation Centers. Nevertheless, the challenges pertaining to juvenile delinquency has continued to be felt up to date. In conclusion, the researcher calls upon adults who remam careless upon juveniles after producing them to remember the happiness they have underwent before producing such young generation. The study also calls upon the government to revive its activities such as carpentry which were in rehabilitation centers like Kampiringisa National Rehabilitation Center as an endeavor to contain forms of delinquency in the country. By adopting juvenile justice as a criminal subjunct of Uganda's legal system, fully entrenched and with proper execution mechanisms, this can be a positive direction towards checking on the menace caused today by child offenders. | en_US |
