Defence for Children International Beijing Rules Research as a basis for planning, policy formation andevaluation
The Rules recognise the importance of keeping abreast with the changing problems and causes of juvenile delinquency as well as the varying particular needs of juveniles in custody. Research should therefore be organised and promoted both as a basis for effective planning and policy formation and for regular evaluation of the juvenile justice system with a view to future improvement and reform. The commentary suggests the utilisation of independent persons and bodies and the views of juveniles themselves in carrying out such research.
