Juvenile offenders, particularly first offenders, cause much concern. Society's tendency to opt for a rehabilitative rather than a punitive approach in treating juvenile offenders now seems to be the mainstream line of thinking. To this end, the operation of the juvenile justice system in a fair and just manner is of tremendous significance. The perception of juvenile offenders towards the juvenile justice system and their own treatment is undoubtedly strongly related to their motivation to reform. Through a case study of juvenile offenders at various stages from prosecution to conviction or acquittal, we hope to examine the personal experience of juvenile offenders, the available support and services, be they legal, social, psychological or informational, and the practical applicability of some of the fundamental freedoms for suspects under the rule of law of our current legal system. The study aims to improve our understanding of the situation before the sentencing of juvenile offenders and to highlight the services that are needed.
