The Juvenile Justice System in the Arab Republic of Egypt
Abstract
Egyptian society is heavily rooted in ancient traditions and religious practices. Islam is the cornerstone of Egypt's social, intellectual, and political cohesion, offering the logical force that bonds communities into a broad nation. Since independence, the Egyptians have modeled the criminal justice system on the existing religious and colonial ideological influences. Despite being one of Africa's largest countries, only a few scholars have examined the Egyptian juvenile justice system. The chapter will explore various aspects of the juvenile justice system in Egypt, its history, organization, and contemporary issues in juvenile justice. The chapter highlights the age of majority and criminal responsibility, trends and statistics of youth crimes, and custodial and non-custodial treatment of young offenders. Through the comparison with western juvenile justice systems, the chapter intends to offer policy implications for the existing problems that youth face and suggest future research areas on youth crime and the juvenile justice system.
