Summary/Abstract: Child protection in justice is designed to prevent crime among children and juveniles, to keep them away from further crime, and to reintegrate young offenders into society. So, it also covers the areas of prevention, enforcement, and aftercare.As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, it was recognized that child protection covers the elimination of a child’s financial vulnerability, the prevention of moral misconduct, and the representation of the interests of both orphans and the unhealthy. The country’s opportunities have been influenced not only by political ideologies but also by the human and material casualties suffered as a result of the two world wars.The current focus of child protection in justice is always on socio-economic and political problems. Examining the personality and family relationships of juvenile offenders also went a long way in the designated period. The protection of children in justice also affects the areas of administrative law, criminal substantive and procedural law, and criminology. At the end of the paper, I compare the institution of patronage and the preventive patronage.
