Abstract: This paperwork investigates the issue of reintegration of juveniles in conflict or contact with the Law in Albania, analyzing the national and international legal instruments that have influenced the development of juveniles justice. The main principles of this system, such as the well-being of children, respect for their dignity, their right to a fair trial, and special treatment, emphasized in the Convention on the Rights of the Children have already become part of Albania’s legislation. To achieve the reintegration of children into society and prevent them from returning to further violations, the need for a friendly approach to their treatment by the justice system has been emphasized. This includes educating juveniles about their mistakes and supporting them to improve themselves in the right way. The most effective way to achieve this is to use juvenile-friendly justice systems, based on the principle of the best interest of the juvenile and avoid their isolation in criminal institutions as a last mean for rehabilitation and reintegration. The purpose of this paperwork is to address and emphasize the role of legislation, responsible bodies and the entire system in the reintegration of juveniles into society and the ways of achieving this reintegration.
