Factors Ensuring the Diversion Model of Juvenile Offenders in Vietnam: The Stakeholder Perspectives

Abstract

The study examines the major factors that ensure the effectiveness of the diversion model for adolescent criminals in Vietnam, and the perspectives of key players. Using a descriptive research design, the study examines the legal framework, institutional abilities, and socio-cultural effects that affect the model. Conclusions highlight the importance of community participation in a supportive legal environment, inter-agency cooperation, and facilitating successful turns. Additionally, challenges such as inconsistent policy enforcement, resource boundaries, and social stigma are identified as obstacles for effective implementation. This study underlines the need for policy improvement and capacity-making initiatives to increase the stability of diversion models. These insights contribute to the ongoing discussion on teenage justice reforms in Vietnam and provide recommendations to strengthen the alternative approach to rehabilitation.
