Complete, trusted solutions and explanations.
Lawrence is 9 years old and lives with his single mother and
three (3) younger siblings in a shack in an informal settlement.
His mother is working long hours trying to provide for her
family, resulting in Lawrence and his siblings often being
unsupervised. One afternoon after school, Lawrence is caught
stealing bread and sweets at a shop. He claims that he was
hungry and that he also wanted to give his siblings something to
eat. The shop owner phones the police and Lawrence’s mother is
notified. Question 1 Lawrence’s mother is very worried that her
son will have a criminal record. Explain to her how Lawrence
will be handled by the police official and the probation officer.
(15)
In South Africa, the legal framework governing how children
like Lawrence are handled in the criminal justice system is
guided by the Child Justice Act 75 of 2008. This Act focuses
on rehabilitation and reintegration rather than punishment.
Here's how Lawrence will likely be handled by the police
official and the probation officer:
Step 1: Police Action
• No Immediate Arrest: Given Lawrence’s age (9 years
old), the police should not arrest him immediately.
