| dc.description.abstract | This research studies the causes and treatments for juvenile sex offenders in rehabilitation center and remand home in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The research is qualitative, uses observation and interviews with both eight participants and five key informants involved in and working with juvenile sex offenders in rehabilitation center and remand home in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It offers a conceptual framework that builds on theories on causes for juvenile sex offending. The research identified media, peer pressure , dysfunctional familial backgrounds, and intimacy between the perpetrator and the victim are the major causes for juvenile sex offending. In addition, the services offered are accommodation, schooling, medical care, court cases follow-up, visitation, recreation, and reintegration. Regarding causes for juvenile sex offending in terms of their variety and the treatment mechanisms in terms of shortage was observed in the findings of the study. The research argues that while the services offered to juvenile offenders are acceptable but they are not enough to safeguard the rights of juvenile offenders. Indeed, while the laws promote the safeguarding of the rights of juvenile offenders, not having a codified child law is the lacuna of the law. The research calls for a child law that promotes children with respect to their internationally, regionally and nationally recognized rights to be fully fulfilled, respected and realized. | en_US |
