Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Thenational police department last week agreed on a consensus with the judiciary that all criminalmatters done by boys below age 18were entitled to be addressed in the juvenilecourt.<\/p>\n

Thenational police spokesperson Maj Gen Daniel Justine in a phone interview withJuba monitor yesterday said, after series of strategies laid by the policedepartment that also involved the judiciary last Thursday, they had come with afinal decision that criminal cases carried by young boys below the age of 15were subjected to be handled by the juvenile court as requested by the policedepartment.<\/p>\n

Thiscame after reports have been piled and critically analysed with results that,majority of the boys involved in most group to group attacks as well asdaylight robbery were below 18 years.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Uponthe recommendation passed last Thursday during the meeting, the policedepartment has referred juvenile crimes to be tried by the juvenile court. Thejuvenile court was formed last year upon the request by the national policeservice to handle criminal cases committed by underage boys\u2019\u2019 He said.<\/p>\n

Hefurther pointed out that most of the criminal practices such as group to groupattacks were engineered by matured boys using underage teenagers who sometimes wereignorant of such acts.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Maturedboys are fond of using teenagers on group to group attacks in order to set themfree from their actions. The juvenile court will handle criminal mattersconcerning juveniles in which if one is found guilty, they will be taken toreformatory centres for transformation\u2019\u2019 He pointed.<\/p>\n

However,he also added that they had started arresting the gang boys identified as(niggas) who have been participating in group to group attacks using hazardousequipment such as pangas, knives and harmers.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Wehave started arresting these group of boys involved in group attacks causinginjuries to one another\u2019\u2019 Justine lamented<\/p>\n

Furthermore,Daniel said, areas such as Gudele, Sheriket, Joppa, Shari Bateri, and Lokwililiwere identified as key areas where such criminal activities are practiced.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Gudele,Sherikat, Joppa, Shari bateri and Lokwilili are key areas of focus that policehas targeted upon such crimes. The Criminal Investigative Department (CID) isworking hard to ensure that such crimes are completely stopped for good\u2019\u2019 Hereiterated.<\/p>\n
