Juvenile delinquency is a social problem of the individuals that make up the society. The application of punishment for deterrence used for this problem is insufficient to solve the problem. In general, the fight against crime and criminals focuses on intervening after the crime has occurred, catching the criminals, bringing them to justice and punishing them. However, it is necessary to approach this problem in terms of prevention and resocialization concepts, as in all developed countries.
For this purpose, in order to prevent or at least minimize the crime of children who are inclined towards crime, first of all, it is necessary to identify the reasons that push children to crime, and then At these points, there is a need for institutions and regulations that will support children, reveal and develop their interests and abilities, and respond to their emotional world. The aim here is to prevent crime in society before it is committed, and if the crime is committed, to lock the child within four walls and to carry out the feelings of revenge on him. On the contrary, it is to approach the child in a correct, logical and modern way and to raise him/her to be useful to his family, his environment and society, and to be loyal and respectful to national and spiritual values. and the guidance and monitoring services that should be provided to the child after execution should be handled as a whole, and the courts that try children should be an institution that organizes how the child will be rehabilitated rather than an institution that imposes punishment.
