Six Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries are participating in an initiative that would provide services in support of juvenile diversion and rehabilitative programmes for youth in contact with the justice system.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The St. Lucia-based Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission said Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines are participating in the capacity assessment juvenile diversion and rehabilitative programmes.<\/p>\n

It said it has partnered with the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) to implement Phase II of the Juvenile Justice Reform Project and that \u201cas a crucial part of this initiative, the OECS and the NCSC are currently assessing the capabilities of participating member states\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Earlier this year, two NCSC teams conducted site visits to the six participating countries and interviewed many potential providers of services for diversion programming with an aim to create a database of providers in each member state, the Commission added.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Building on the first juvenile justice reform programme, (JJRP), the OECS through JJRP 2 seeks to strengthen juvenile justice systems to promote the rehabilitation and reintegration of youth in conflict with the law back into society.<\/p>\n

JJRP 2 targets youth aged 18 and below who are in conflict with the law in the six countries and works with a wide variety of stakeholders including multiple ministries in each country, communities, non-governmental organisations and the private sector.<\/p>
