Description: Juvenile justice is an area of law that deals with minors who have committed offenses, seeking an approach that prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment. This system recognizes that young people, due to their emotional and cognitive development, require different treatment than adults. Juvenile justice focuses on the social reintegration of the minor, promoting their well-being and personal development. Additionally, it considers the responsibility of the family and social environment in the young person’s behavior, which implies a more holistic approach to conflict resolution. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to play an important role, helping professionals assess risks, predict behaviors, and personalize interventions. However, the implementation of AI in juvenile justice raises ethical and bias issues, as algorithms can perpetuate existing inequalities if not designed and applied carefully. Therefore, it is crucial to address these challenges to ensure that juvenile justice fulfills its rehabilitation goal and does not become a punitive system that negatively affects young people and their communities.
