Abstract
This chapter presents a comparative analysis of juvenile justice systems in Kenya and Tanzania, with a focus on the implications of diversion programs on child development. Although both countries emphasize rehabilitation over punitive measures, significant gaps in aligning with international standards remain. Through an analysis of secondary data from legislative documents, policy reports, and case studies, the chapter highlights Kenya's structured interventions and their implementation challenges, as well as Tanzania's community-based approach, which lacks detailed guidelines. The study concludes with recommendations for developing training programs, addressing resource limitations, and enhancing research to foster evidence-based improvements in both systems.
