Welcome to CMY2604! This is an extremely relevant module and we trust that you will
find it informative and stimulating. We are excited to embark on this journey through
child adjudication with you. It is not always a clear and easy journey, but we have chosen
an approach that aims to make this module as practical and relevant to you as possible.

Dealing with children in conflict with the law is a very difficult task, especially viewed in
light of the fact that the treatment will have a permanent effect on minds that are young
and impressionable.

• Where do you start?
Please start with Tutorial Letter 101. This study letter contains extremely important
information which you must read. Apart from that, it also contains your assignments, as
well as their due dates. There are absolutely no extensions granted on the submission
dates of the assignments, so you will understand the importance of handing in the
assignments on time.

• Where do you find your lecturer?
As your lecturers, we want to help you to get as much information and usefulness from
this module as possible. Therefore, we urge you to contact us whenever you feel the need
to do so. You will find our contact details in Tutorial Letter 101. We are here to assist you
to make the most of your studies, so please make use of this opportunity. Please make
use of myUnisa where we can engage in discussions and share important or interesting
questions and information.

• What approach did we use to compile this study guide?
The main aim with our study guide is to provide you with a sort of a manual on how to
deal with children who come into conflict with the law. It takes you on a journey starting
with an historical oversight passing through various legislation and ending with problems
relating to implementation.

Furthermore, we hope that you will not only pass this module but will also find it useful
with possible applications in your professional world as well as your daily life.

The lecturers who compiled the study guide approached the subject matter from two
perspectives:

1. A practical-functional or pragmatic approach to the objectives of criminology, which
assumes that the subject must relate to or take account of the needs of a community-
seeking service. This means that our primary aim is to make information available
to you in a critical-systematic way to enable you to develop better insight into and
understanding of the phenomenon of juvenile crime. The secondary aim is to teach
you contextual problem solving, which happens when you apply the acquired

, knowledge and insight. To drive these perspectives home, we have inserted some
activities into the tutorial matter to engage you.
2. The principles of curriculum design identified in the 1996 Curriculum Framework
(CDWG 1996:11–16), which remind us that outcomes-based curriculum development
must contribute to outcomes like:
• learner-centredness
• the development of human resources by promoting continued (ongoing) learning
and the application and development of new knowledge and skills
• an integrated approach that rejects the rigid division between academic and applied
knowledge, theory and practice and knowledge and skills
• lifelong learning
• critical and creative thinking
• nation building and non-discrimination
• national credibility and quality assurance

1 THE OBJECTIVE OF THE MODULE
The objective of this module is to accompany and guide you as you acquire knowledge
and understanding as well as problem solving skills around dealing with young offenders.
To achieve this, we shall help you to become more closely acquainted with:

• the philosophical underpinnings of the judicial handling of young offenders
• the development of juvenile justice
• policy development and law reform pertaining to young offenders
• the official and non-official disposition of juvenile offenders
In the process we would like you to think holistically about the handling of young offenders
as part of the discipline of criminology as it is manifested in South Africa, the continent
of Africa and throughout the world (ie in the worldwide global context).

To enable you to form views and values, we want to encourage you to take an active
interest in the topic as it is reflected in the media daily.

Our aim is to make you aware of the judicial dealing with young offenders as part of the
study field of criminology and to help you develop a responsible attitude towards young
offenders by using criminological knowledge and related skills in everyday life.

We would like to encourage you to become actively involved in and committed to searching
for solutions to local, regional and national crime and related problems pertaining to
the youthful offenders in our midst. We try to inculcate in you an understanding and
humaneness by encouraging you to take an interest in the country’s crime problems and
to be understanding towards the youthful offenders and their situations.

It is very important that you acquire the necessary skills to engage the study matter.
Mastering this subject requires dedication and commitment, as well as reading and study
skills.
