This study investigates the collaborative governance model used to address children in conflict with the law (CICL) and examines the factors that influence collaboration in handling these cases. The present study applies Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques to survey data using a quantitative approach. Results: Communication, quality of human resources, facilities, infrastructure, and policies significantly influenced collaboration in managing CICL. This is a reminder of the need for these aspects to build trust between partners and to support collective efforts towards strengthening cooperation among all actors related to children in criminal justice. The paper presents an addition to this line of inquiry, introducing new quantitative approaches examining the impact that these dimensions—communication, human resource capacity and competence, facilities, infrastructure services, and institutional rules—that drive collaborative governance models in juvenile justice have on cooperation across sectors targeted towards child offenders. © 2025, World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society.
