dc.description.abstractThis paper outlines Ghana‘s current system of juvenile justice. It explores the system‘s innovations and assesses its compliance with international standards of juvenile justice. The paper argues that despite the noble character of the legislation, due to financial and human resource constraints, it has not been possible to bring contemporary practices in line with the spirit and intention of the legislation. As such, there is a major gap between the legislation and reality. The overview furnished in this paper should be significantly useful to scholars and practitioners interested in Ghana‘s juvenile justice systemen_US
