LEGAL ODDITIES ON SPECIAL PROTECTION OF CHILD OFFENDERS:AN EXAMINATION OF OFFENCES BY A CHILD OFFENDER VIZ A VIZ SECTION 1(2)(A) OF VIOLENCE AGAINST PERSONS (PROHIBITION ) ACT 2015 AND CHILD RIGHT ACT (2003)

This work impact on the effect of juvenile sentencing under section 1(2)A) of the VAPP Act as a breach of the fundamental minimum age principles for criminal responsibility of a child offender. The intent of enacting laws and sections of law that deals on child offender is not to punish but to correct, through a special court, rehabilitation juvenile system and later on access their development on whether or not to be integrated back into the society. The regular(normal) court system lack the cares and sensitivity of handling child prosecution as it requires due protocol that will not hinder the development of a child later on in life; as a crime is not a product of an individual alone but a compound effect of both individual, environment and society. As such due care must be exercised by law while handling a child offender cases i.e. careful consideration of whether the child is a first-time offender, psychological and behavioral status among various factors. This secure the interest of the society, law and best interest of a child offenders in other to meet the virtue of section 1 of the Child Rights Act (2003) which the VAPP Act breached and will be examined within this work.
