Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission. (2008). Justice for Children: The Situation for Children in Conflict with the Law in Afghanistan. 36 p. "[T]his study reveals that children in the justice system will most likely be the victims of abuse and an approach aimed at punishing them with little support for their basic development or rehabilitation. Not only is this a violation of the inherent rights of the child it is also counterproductive in terms of crime prevention.

Center for Law and Global Justice, University of San Francisco School of Law. (2007). Sentencing Our Children to Die in Prison. 56 p. Authored by Michelle Leighton and Professor Connie de la Vega. "This report focuses on the sentencing of child offenders - those convicted of crimes committed when younger than 18 years of age - to a term of life imprisonment without the possibility of release or parole ("LWOP"). The sentence condemns a child to die in prison. It is the harshest sentence an individual can receive short of death and violates international human rights standards of juvenile justice."

Equal Justice Initiative. (2007). Cruel and Unusual: Sentencing 13- and 14-Year-Old Children to Die In Prison. 43 p. "In the United States, dozens of 13- and 14-year-old children have been sentenced to life imprisonment with no possibility of parole after being prosecuted as adults. While the United States Supreme Court recently declared in Roper v. Simmons that death by execution is unconstitutional for juveniles, young children continue to be sentenced to imprisonment until death with very little scrutiny or review."

Human Rights Watch (2008). Adults before Their Time Children in Saudi Arabia’s Criminal Justice System. 84 p. This “report documents the routine arrest of children for such “offenses” as begging, running away from home, or being alone with a member of the opposite sex. Prosecutors can hold children, like adults, for up to six months before referring them to a judge. In the case of girls, authorities can detain them indefinitely, without judicial review, for what they say is “guidance.” Detention centers mix children under investigation or trial with children convicted of a crime and sometimes with adults. Judges regularly try children without the presence of lawyers or sometimes even guardians, even for crimes punishable by death, flogging, or amputation.”
