Ending the Death Penalty for Child Offenders, AI Index ACT 50 001 2004, p. 10.

19. Also urges States to take duly into consideration measures for the special treatment and rehabilitation of child offenders

For example, child prostitutes are victims of sexual abuse, violence and exploitation but are also vulnerable to punishment as offenders.

Since 2002, child offenders have also been sentenced to death by special courts in the Darfur region of the Sudan.

The Committee also recommends that the State party provide alternatives to detention, as well as special facilities for girl child offenders.

The publicizing of successful federal investigations leading to the arrest of offenders in child sex cases should be considered an effective deterrent.

Fear of reprisal, however, especially where the offenders are the parents, deters the child from making a statement, leaving the police with no choice but to desist from further action

The Family and Youth Services of the Tucson Police Department established a Sex Offenders Registration and Tracking Unit in response to the high recidivist rate amongst sex offenders. This pro active programme prescribes community notification of child sex offenders, which entails informing the community in which a convicted sex offender decides to settle after serving his sentence of his criminal history involving children, by means of, inter alia, a billboard.
