COLLABORATION FORUM

  
The need for global juvenile justice indicators for Europe

The existence of indicators in juvenile justice is a key with which to evaluate and address juvenile justice systems in Europe, in order to guarantee that all children in conflict with the law have correct and fair assistance at all times, and that the international standards are respected. The biggest challenge for the development of indicators is the huge diversity of the systems in Europe and the different methodologies used to address the issues.

What should be taken into account to create common and regional indicators in juvenile justice?
