This book presents a modern, integrative perspective for understanding the characteristics of juvenile delinquency and their care and rehabilitation needs. It proposes a philosophy of care that shifts from punishment and social stigma to rehabilitation, empowerment, the restoration of human dignity, reconciliation with self, family, and society, and the acquisition of social competence. This work consists of three interconnected sections. The first presents the categories of juvenile delinquency, the characteristics of each, and the extent of their need for rehabilitation and empowerment. The second section presents the dimensions of the comprehensive assessment process of the juvenile's situation, their problems, and their potential, leading to the formation of a file that forms the basis for developing a care policy. The third section presents care methods and programs that address these problems and unleash the potential for growth and social integration. It concludes with a summary that presents the elements of professionalizing work with juvenile delinquents in terms of academic preparation and professional path.
