Abstract
The study was carried out in order to assess the effectiveness of juvenile delinquency under the
Laws of Uganda using Naguru Remand home as case study in Kampala district. The study
objectively sought to identify the different ways how juvenile offenders are handled in relation to
the law in Uganda and to establish the possible measures that can be put in place to curb juvenile
delinquency in Uganda.
Data was collected using interviews and questionnaires accompanied by secondary sources by
extracting information regarding the right to bond by juvenile offenders, by reading newspapers,
journals, text books plus the already existing work on internet and magazines.
In findings it established that, family factors which have an influence on offending include; the
level of parental supervision, the way parents discipline a child, parental conflict or separation.
Criminal parents or sibling, parent abuse or neglect and the quality of the parent-child
relationship. Children brought up by lone parents are more likely to start offending them those
who live with two natural parents, whoever once the attachment a child feels towards their
parent(s) and the level of parental supervision are taken into account, children in single parent
families are no more likely to offend than others.
It is recommended that government should enact stringent laws prohibiting importation of guns
to arm children. Instead government should establish more learning centers which can take and
absorb all street children to learn various skills through various vocations courses from which
they may be oriented to becoming useful future citizens who will positively contribute to the economic and social development of this country.
