Juvenile Recidivism Exceeds 30 Percent
The Children's Rights Defense Association reveals that the recidivism rate among juvenile offenders in Tunisian reform centers exceeds 30%. According to the law, a juvenile offender is defined as a child aged between 13 and 18 who commits an act classified as a crime. These children suffer from neglect and marginalization, and they face inadequate training programs within the reform centers that fail to meet necessary standards, hindering their ability to benefit from what they've learned upon release. Experts emphasize the need to develop clear strategies to improve educational and social conditions, with a focus on prioritizing the child to ensure the development of a balanced society and to protect children from unsafe environments. The law also emphasizes the principle of the child's best interests over punishment. There are five reform centers for juvenile offenders overseen by the Ministry of Justice, but there are no clear statistics available regarding the number of children in recent years.
