Abstract
The 1998 Juvenile Justice Review charts developments in juvenile justice law and practice in South Africa from October 1997 until October 1998. However, the release of the South African Law Commission discussion paper on juvenile justice (Project 106) on 14 December 1998 paves the way for an introduction to the contents of the discussion paper, and more especially an overview of the proposed new child justice system, as reflected in the draft bill attached to the discussion paper. The draft bill will be extensively debated with relevant departments, members of the profession, academics and other interested parties during 1999, with a view to producing a final report to the Minister of Justice during the latter half of 1999.
