This document discusses juvenile justice policy and the need for a comprehensive policy in Pakistan. It notes that while Pakistan has policies for areas like health and education, it lacks a specific criminal justice or juvenile justice policy. The document outlines some key concepts in juvenile justice, including the definition of a juvenile, juvenile delinquency, diversion, and restorative justice.
