Criminal justice and public policy responses to child homicide

Criminal justice and public policy responses to violence against children can be divided into three (partly overlapping) broad categories: prevention of domestic violence (including violence against children); interventions in early and middle childhood that tackle violence against children; and interventions that prevent children and adolescents from becoming involved in crime. In countries or regions that have experienced or are experiencing armed conflict, programmes for the rehabilitation of children recruited by terrorist and violent extremist groups are also important.
