The child-savers movement was focused on the rehabilitation of young offenders through education and training, rather than punishment. The movement included philanthropists, reformers, and professionals who were concerned with the well-being of juveniles. This resulted in the establishment of the first juvenile court that stressed the importance of rehabilitation and treatment for juveniles. The other options, such as houses of refuge, reform schools, and institutionalization, focus more on confinement and punishment rather than rehabilitation.
