Title: Good Practices and Promising Initiatives in Juvenile Justice in the CEE/CIS Region
Summary: The UNICEF Regional Office for CEE/CIS has developed a concept of Critical Mass (CM), whereby a group of countries that has developed experience and/or momentum in a particular field is encouraged to work with a common set of objectives and priorities; strengthen its approaches; actively document and share its experience and lessons learned, drawing upon expertise as well as networks; and use evaluation as a tool for course correction, for the benefit of all countries in the region. Through a consultative process started in 20081, the following set of priorities was identified to respond to programming gaps or needs in juvenile justice reform in the CEE/CIS region; Children in conflict with the law who are under minimum age for prosecution as a juvenile; diversion; and alternatives to custodial sentences. This report presents a catalogue of practices documented through the Juvenile Justice Crimitial Mass initiative. The objective of this document is to share knowledge amongst all states in order to implement a meaningful and more effective juvenile justice reform.
