2015 — Prevention of youth crime in St. Maarten.

This report inspects the prevention of juvenile delinquency in St. Maarten, revealing a lack of a coordinated, comprehensive prevention policy from the Ministry of Justice. While individual initiatives exist, they are fragmented and lack structural collaboration among agencies. The report highlights the importance of early intervention and the need for better coordination among the judicial and non-judicial sectors. Recommendations include developing a unified youth crime prevention policy, enhancing communication between organizations, and ensuring proper aftercare and follow-up to prevent recidivism.
