 ADULT CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND JUVENILE
JUSTICE
• * Person below the legal age (18) who committed a crime is
processed under Republic Act No. 9344 as amended by RA
10630 or act establishing a Comprehensive Juvenile Justice
and Welfare System.
• * Person in the legal age shall be prosecuted in accordance
with the Revised Rules of Court promulgated by the
Supreme Court in the exercise of its Rule making power
under the Constitution.
•The Juvenile Justice system has a special Court( the
Family Court) which is a Regional Trial court
designated by the Supreme court to handle family
related cases including juvenile cases. There is no
separate police for juveniles, but there is a different
approach for them. The juvenile will not be subjected to
arrest but a different approach in taking a child into
police custody such as a procedure for initial contact
with the child.
 INITIAL CONTACT WITH A
CHILD

into custody of a child in conflict
with the law by a law enforcement

procedure shall apply.
• 2. Child at Risk. As defined in the Revised Rule, a “child at risk”
refers to a child who is vulnerable to and at the risk of committing
criminal offenses because of personal, family and social
circumstances.
TWO MODELS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF
JUSTICE
•1. Crime control- the administration of
criminal justice must concentrated in
efficiency through increased capacity to
apprehend, try, convict and giving
emphasis on speed and finality of cases in
dealing with those accused of crime.
DUE PROCESS MODEL

•-The primary consideration of this

model is to protect the rights of the
accused, the individual freedoms and
the general consideration of liberty,
the basic right of an individual.
