ACTIVITY 1- FACT OR OPINION

01 FACT
Children do not have the same psychosocial and decision-making
capacity as adults. The developmental immaturity of young people lessens
their criminal culpability
“The child/adolescent brain is still under development” Which is in the
prefrontal region of the brain. Although young people may be able to
discern right from wrong action, it is their capability to act in ways
consistent with that discernment that is undermined.”
ACTIVITY 1- FACT OR OPINION

02 OPINION

Crime is rampant in our society and many children commit crimes at an

early age. We have to arrest even these child offenders to curb crime.

Children commit a small fraction of total crimes in the Philippines. It was

just 2 % compared to the adults which is 98% according to the PNP
ACTIVITY 1- FACT OR OPINION

03 OPINION

Crime syndicates use children in their illegal operations to get away with
crimes. We should lower the MACR so they will be discouraged from
using children.

Children used by crime syndicates are victims of exploitation and abuse.

We should focus on catching the adults and syndicates that victimize
children.
ACTIVITY 1- FACT OR OPINION

04 FACT

Neglected and abused children are prone to commit delinquent acts.

3 out of 5 children have been verbally abused, threatened and/or

abandoned by their parents or guardians. Out of these 3, 1 will likely to
become child offender.
ACTIVITY 1- FACT OR OPINION

05 OPINION

Children who commit crimes should be put in jail.

Detention should be the last resort and not the first and only option. A
child’s “exposure to the criminal justice system, where the child will be
labeled a criminal and exposed to criminal models will more likely
establish the “criminal identity” of the young person

JUVENILE
A juvenile is defined as a minor, usually
someone between the ages of 9 and 18.

In the criminal justice system, a juvenile is

defined as an offender who is under 18 years
old at the time he allegedly committed his
offense. (Legal Beagle, 2020)
In the Philippines, the Constitution uses the
term “Child” instead of “Juvenile”.
According to R.A. No. 9344, “Child” is a person under the
age of eighteen (18) years.

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

Juvenile delinquency, also known as "juvenile offending" is

the act of committing a crime at a very young age.

A juvenile delinquent is a young person, particularly a

teenager under the age of eighteen and below who breaks a
state or federal law by committing a crime.
Some acts are not
considered crimes as
they would be for
adults but instead are
commonly referred to
as status offenses
according to the
Philippine
constitution.
THE JUVENILE JUSTICE WELFARE ACT

Republic Act No. 9344 or the “Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006”
defines the Juvenile Justice and Welfare System as a system dealing with
children at risk and children in conflict with the law, which provides child-
appropriate proceedings, including programmes and services for prevention,
diversion, rehabilitation, re-integration and aftercare to ensure their normal
growth and development.
CHILD AT RISK & CHILD IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW

CHILD AT RISK
“Child at Risk” refers to a
child who is vulnerable to
and at the risk of
committing criminal
offences because of
personal, family and social
circumstances.

WHO ARE THE CHILDREN AT RISK?

(1) being abused by any person (6) being a street child;

through sexual, physical,  
psychological, mental, economic or (7) being a member of a gang;
any other means and the parents or

CHILD AT RISK & CHILD IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW

CHILD IN CONFLIC WITH THE LAW (CICL)

refers to a child who is
alleged as, accused of,
or adjudged as, having
committed an offence
under Philippine laws.
 
CHILD AT RISK & CHILD IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW

A child can commit an act or omission whether

punishable under special laws or the amended Revised
Penal Code which is referred to as an “Offence”. Under
Republic Act 10630, offences which only apply to a child
and not to adults are called “Status Offences”. These
shall not be considered as offences and shall not be
punished if committed by a child. Examples of status
offences include curfew violations, truancy, parental
disobedience and the like.
 
AGE OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE PRESUMPTION OF MINORITY

Before R.A. No. 9344 was enacted, children at risk and CICL were
treated much like adult offenders.

Basically, children between ages 9 to 21 years old are considered

criminals during President Marcos’ time.

It was abolished by R.A. 9433 and likewise, raises the age of criminal
responsibility to 15 years old under Presidential Decree 603.
AGE OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE PRESUMPTION OF MINORITY

CICLs aged 15 and above are also exempted from criminal liability
unless the prosecution proves that they acted with discernment — the
capacity to distinguish right from wrong.

These child offenders are also afforded all the rights of a CICL until
he/she is proven to be eighteen (18) years old or older under the
“presumption of minority” rule. In all proceedings, law enforcement
officers, prosecutors, judges and other government officials concerned
are mandated to exert all efforts at determining the age of the CICL.
AGE OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY AND THE PRESUMPTION OF MINORITY
Recently, juvenile offences rose to 1.7 percent of the total crimes in the Philippines
which involves theft, assault, municipal and city ordinance violation according to
PNP documentations.

violations, truancy
• Property Crimes- burglary, larceny, theft, arson,
shoplifting and vandalism
• Violent Crimes- robbery, assault, murder, rape,
kidnapping
• Purchase and usage of illicit drugs
FACTORS THAT CAUSES JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

• Authoritarian Parenting – characterized by the use of harsh

disciplinary methods, and refusal to justify disciplinary actions, other
than by saying “because I said so.”
• Peer Association – usually resulting from leaving adolescents
unsupervised, encouraging a child to engage in bad behaviors when
acting with his peer group.
• Low Socioeconomic Status
Factors that causes Juvenile Delinquency

• Permissive Parenting – characterized by lack of consequences

for bad behavior, permissive parenting can be broken down into
two subcategories: (1) neglectful parenting, which is a lack of
monitoring a child’s activities, and (2) indulgent parenting,
which is the enablement of bad behavior.
• Poor School Performance
• Peer Rejection
• ADHD and other mental disorders
PREVENTIONS FOR JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

• Strong bond of a family and proper parenting style

• Ensure that their children engage in productive social activities
• Education System
• The Role of Mass Media
Preventions of Juvenile Delinquency

• Creation of Programs like- Recreation programs, Community

Involvement, Parent-Child Interaction Program, Bullying
Prevention Program, Prevention Program within Juvenile
Justice System with the aid of The Sangguniang Kabataan and
the LGU.
 
WHY IS JUVENILE DELINQUENCY A SOCIAL PROBLEM?

• It is a global issue because it is present in both developed and

developing nations
• Innocent children’s future are at risk
• They are prone mental health issues
• They are being exploited due to their innocence and vulnerability.
They can be easily be swayed ord coerced
• If not prevented, they will be one of the biggest problem of the state
CHILDREN ARE VICTIMS OF BAD ADULTS

Some legislators have argued that crime syndicates are using

children in their illegal activities to get away with crimes so the
children need to be detained to stop them from committing
offenses. If crime syndicates or adults use children in their
illegal activities, clearly the children are victims. Therefore, the
children should be rescued and provided rehabilitative support
and the syndicates should be the ones arrested and penalized for
their criminal acts.
